A C#5 B5 E
Sittin' nearby the long steel rails, waitin' for a train to come
A C#5 B5 E
Yonder sleeps a little town, faidin' with the settin sun
A C#5 B5 E
Sittin' here watchin' evenin' fall, singin' alone some tune
A C#5 B5 E
And if the train don't come 'til midnight, I guess I'll sing it to the moon
[Chorus]
A E D E A
Too many miles, too many miles from home
A E D E A
Too many miles, too many miles alone
[Verse]
A C#5 B5 E
Well I tried to hitch a ride all day, but the cars kept passin' by
A C#5 B5 E
I don't know where I'm goin' babe, but I know the reason why
A C#5 B5 E
I'm tryin' to find one certain town, just one special place
A C#5 B5 E
Where waiting with a special smile, their'll be one special face
[Chorus]
A E D E A
Too many miles, too many miles from home
A E D E A
Too many miles, too many miles alone
[Verse]
A C#5 B5 E
I've been thinkin' as I'm waitin', as the hours come and go
A C#5 B5 E
There's many a night I've spent like this, and there's many a more I'll know
A C#5 B5 E
And the funny thing about it all, though I ain't got no home
A C#5 B5 E
I know that each man finds his resting place, where he ain't all alone
[Chorus]
A E D E A
Too many miles, too many miles from home
A E D E A
Too many miles, too many miles alone
