@oldmusicculture: "500 Miles" (also known as "500 Miles Away from Home" or "Railroaders' Lament") is a song made popular in the United States during the 1960s folk revival. The song is a tale of a traveler who is far from home, out of money, and too ashamed to return. The song is generally credited as being written by Hedy West, and a 1961 copyright is held by Atzal Music, Inc. #oldmusic #doowopmusic #classics #classicmusic #50smusic #60smusic #musicvibes #igmusic #vintagemusic #nostalgicmusic #oldiesbutgoodies #rocknrollclassics #goldeneratunes #retrotunes #retromusic #fifties #sixties #soulmusic #folkmusic
