《500 Miles》，又稱500 Miles Away from Home或Railroaders' Lament，是始於20世紀60年代的一首歌曲。歌曲表現的是身無分文的旅人遠離家鄉、羞於回家的感慨。

歷史

人們一般認為這首歌是由海蒂·韋斯特（英語：Hedy West）創作的^[1]^[2]^[3]。也有人認為 Curly Williams以及約翰·菲利普斯是該歌曲的共同創作者，^[4]不過約翰·菲利普斯表示他只是對這首歌重新編曲，所以並不是這首歌曲的創作者。^[5]大衛·尼爾 (David Neale) 表示，《500 Miles》可能源自民歌《900 Miles》（勞德民歌索引（英語：Roud Folk Song Index） 4959）^[6]，而《900 Miles》本身又源自美國南部的小提琴曲《Reuben's Train》和《Train 45》。^[4]^[7]20世紀70年代初，約翰尼·卡什將《500 Miles》列入了他推出的100首必聽鄉村歌曲名單中。^[8]

《500 Miles》的旋律與《You’ll Never Miss Your Mother Till She’s Gone》非常接近。《You’ll Never Miss Your Mother Till She’s Gone》由哈里·伯奇（Harry Birch）創作，1885年由馬薩諸塞州波士頓的懷特史密斯公司（White, Smith）發行^[9] 。

巴比·貝爾版本

1963年，巴比·貝爾推出了自己演唱的《500 Miles》。他所唱的《500 Miles》進入美國Billboard百強單曲榜的前十名。
