Miles Away From Home    (HH 5317)  Scott Bennett

OPENER



Grand Square
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
Allemande left and weave the ring
Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm 500 miles
Away from home

FIGURE



Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
Lord I'm 500 miles
Away from home

MIDDLE BREAK



Grand Square
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I'm gone
You can hear the whistle blow
100 miles
Allemande left and weave the ring
Lord I'm 1, Lord I'm 2
Lord I'm 3, Lord I'm 4
Lord I'm 500 miles
Away from home

CLOSER



Grand Square
Can't remember when I ate
It's just thumbing, walking, wait
And it's still 500 miles
Away from home
Allemande left and weave the ring
If my luck had just been right
I'd been home with them tonight
But I'm 500 miles
Away from home

TAG



Lord I'm 500 miles away from home
