Hooters, The - 500 Miles Lyrics






If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved was not my own
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

A hundred tanks along the square,
One man stands and stops them there
Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,
Some day soon the tide will turn and I'll be free

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

    Wenn Du in München wohnst, aber eigentlich aus Hamburg kommst (oder umgekehrt), bist du "500 Miles away from home..." weil es 805 km sind (1 Meile = 1,625 km). English: if you live in Munich, but you were born in Hamburg - or the other way - then you're 500 Miles away from home...

  5. S.... C....

    No matter how far away you are from home. You are at home where you are happy

    Ξεκίνησε το τραίνο για ένα νέο ταξίδι της ζωής ! . . αν δεν με βρείτε έχω φύγει ! . . . ταξιδεύω !
    Οι στίχοι του τραγουδιού μιλούν για κάποιον που απομακρύνεται από τον τόπο του και όσο απομακρύνεται τόσο πιο ελεύθερος νιώθει . . . το τραίνο τον οδηγεί σε μια νέα ζωή !

    If you missed the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone

    You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
    A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles
    You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

    Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
    And the land that I once loved is not my own
    Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
    Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

    A hundred tanks along the square, one man stands and stops them there
    Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
    Well I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country
    Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free

    If you missed the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
    You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
    Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
    Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
    Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home, yea

    Well I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country
    Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
    You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles
    Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.

    What is the meaning for this sentences in english: 1.not a penny to my name?
    2. A hundred tanks along the square, one man stands and stops them there?

    I think these sentences are important to know for the whole meaning of this song :)

    a.... ....

    not a penny to my name: having no money/beiing broke. The second part is about that famous bit on TV when that old man stopped all those tanks during the crackdown around tiananmen square, just by standing in their way and the tankers refused to run them over
