Lyrics for 900 Miles

I'm walking down the track I got tears in my eyes I'm trying to read a letter from my home And if this train runs me right I'll be home tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my chain I will pawn you my gold diamond ring And if that train runs me right I'll see my woman tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home Lord, this train I am on Is a hundred coaches long You can hear the whistle blow a million miles And if that train runs me right I'll be home tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home
