Bobby Bare - 500 Miles Away From Home
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFbhJMZx-BQ
In 1965 our senior class trip was to Washington D.C. and New York World’s Fair.
As we were waiting in Grand Central Station to board a train home to Florida. A couple of girls, one of whom was Florida’s Junior Miss began singing that song.
We were tired, had had a great time but were all homesick. The entire class joined in. We were more than 500 miles away from home tho.
