500 Miles Away From Home
In 1963, Bobby Bare gave the world his version of "500 Miles Away From Home" and it became an immediate hit. The song made it into the top 200 songs, of Billboard's top 200 songs, coming in at 133, but was a top 9 hit on Billboard's Top Country Albums.
The song is about a man that had left home, had bad breaks, and life was not so good to him. He had received a letter from his mom, inviting him to come home, and the man did not even have to pack his bags, because everything that he had was in a pack on his back.
He looked back on his former days and realized that he had it good back home, but if he went back, none of them would even know him, because life had treated him so rough. He was only 500 miles away from home, but in his mind, it was as if he were 5,000 miles away, but oh he longed to go back home.
There is something within man that longs for home, we all need that place where we can hang our hat and call it home. It seems that each and everyone of us longs to go back to those simpler days that we had around the old homeplace. I know that I often remember those days, history and time has turned my nostalgia of home, into a warm and wonderful place. It seems that time can minimize the bad stuff and magnify the good times.
I often ride by our old homeplace in Chatsworth, the house is no longer there, but the memories are just as fresh as they have ever been. I love to ride by a couple of places that we lived as a kid, it brings back some of the warmest me ...
