Lyrics

I'm A Thousand Miles From Home

Traveling down this weary road
Traveling down this weary road
Traveling down this weary road
A troubled mind is a heavy load
Traveling down this weary road

I hold my ticket in my hand
I hold my ticket in my hand
I hold my ticket in my hand
I'm headed for the promised land
I hold my ticket in my hand

I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
Georgia rain blows through my bones
I'm a thousand miles from home

I told my love my last good bye
My very, very last good bye
Told my love my last good bye
I hang my head, the tears just cry
Told my love my last good bye

I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
I'm a thousand miles from home
Georgia rain blows through my bones
I'm a thousand miles from home
