Discover the story of the song > 500 Miles – Rosanne Cash

The song is about a woman who has left home and is now 500 miles away. If her former partner misses the train she is on, it means she has already left. She reads a note from her mother who tells her she is missed and loved, but she already has everything she needs with her. She has been away for a long time and has never returned home, always feeling far away even though she carries home with her.
