[maryjoschlechty]

Lord this is how I feel in 2024, I just wanna go home 🏡

[tripletsgirl]

I have to listen to this 50 times because only this song calms my newborn.

I wish some of the teenager's now appreciate this kind of masterpiece. I'm only 18 but i can say that a song like this is more beautiful rather than the new songs now. I love it! Specially, country music 💗

I'm a 200 miles away from home san jose California. But it may as well be 500 miles away from home. It's my childhood home. both my parents are dead but lord what I wouldn't give to hear them say son come on home. my heart and soul will always be there.

[danielbutler]

This is real country music. It reaches down inside you and tugs at your heart. You can feel the story like you are there.

[bobewoldt]

[shermanhiggins]

Reminds me of my "home" in heaven. Can't wait to get there.

[ronmbiad]

I've always been 500 miles to 5.
Million miles away from home between the wars and the wars We live in everyday Life an all the Heart A c h e we go through. This song can certainly be a golden precious song about life.

When Bobby Bare first recorded this, my daddy went and bought it. My Brother, sister and I learned every word.We'd go out behind our old barn ( something most folks in the city didn't have, but we did) and we'd sing this over and over and over again. I still sing it today and I listen all the time too. My daddy passed in 2006 and my mama in 2012( they divorced when I was 13 after we had moved to a different house)My brother went to Heaven in February 2020 and I often ride by that house we lived in back then. My brother had set the barn on fire one day playing with matches, but in my mind I can still see. The house was beside our church and is used as the church social hall now. I don't think anyone ever lived there after we did. It was the best yrs of my life, only I couldn't see it then. Well, I see it now. Nobody could ever make you feel this like Bobby Bare. Thanks for the memories.

my mother died while I was in the Nam . I know the feeling.

[patriciajrs]

Bobby was always so good at making your heart feel the sadness thay he sang. I loved this song and the time frame in which it was written.

[melissamullen]

Away from home - First with the US Navy and then another 30 years of driving trucks -Ritired now and i just want to stay home

[ronmbiad]

It's just amazing how great songs can take you through your whole life

[philcurless]

Hearing this as a kid on Dads car radio was larger than life.

[kittycuz]

I can’t stop crying when I listen to this one. The best version of this song ever recorded.

[MichaelKinzer]

Must've listened to this a hundred times on the drive from Austin, Texas to Bozeman, Montana. Through wind, rain, and snow... creates an emotion too hard to describe.

[gs]

There are a lot of artists who performed this but Bobby Bare does it best.

[junefarmer]

Brought tears to my eyes. So many times through so many years, I was 500+ miles from being home. Was always tearful (tears if joy) when I turned the corner of that last mile and could see my old childhood home up on the hill on that old dirt road. Can never go home again.

[EdFritz-uj]

Yeah this is country when it was country amen

[md.raisulislam]

I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the things she wrote
She said, "We miss you son, we love you come on home."
Well, I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home.

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home.

I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
But it sure looks different now
Well, I guess I look different too cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking this way
Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home.

Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home.

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home...
