I was a 19 year old soldier stationed in Korea when I first heard this song on the radio. Boy what memories that brings back to an old man. I would sing along listening to a little transistor radio when on guard duty.
The 20th century had 2 world wars, the destruction of the family and more martyrs murdered because of their faith in Christ than the previous 19 centuries combined. Technology isn’t the problem, evil has been around since the dawn of time.
How can anyone dislike this song? For a live recording, his voice is flawless. It just does not get any better than his. I grew up on this music. Thank you mom and dad for introducing me to this rich world of music of the 50's and 60's!
@@chuckschillingvideosHe said he related to the song because it told part of the story of his life. He didn'tclaim credit as composer. I love the lyrics and tune of the song and his rendition.
We sang this in Vietnam all of the time. It sure brings back a lot of memories, some good and some not so good but real memories in every way. Thanks Bobby and Norton771
My son was just deployed. This song makes me think of him so much. I miss him horribly . Being a single mom (my hubs/their dad was killed in a wreck in 2007) it's just been me and my children for 15yrs. He's 22 now, but he was my rock for so long. Don't know how I'm gonna make it so long without him. Just praying he makes it home safely every day and night.
Daddy always said he listened to this song and said he cried soo much wanting to come home, but he was a trucker and had to feed me and my brother....Rest In Peace Dad I miss you more and more!!!!
One if the great songs. If you want to test a new singer, request this one. If he can nail it, he's country. If not, he's just bro pop with a baseball cap.
@Bobby Bare thank you for your response. I am a fan from my childhood once I First heard Numbers. I have grown to appreciate all of your music. My parents were big fans and lespecizlly oved your Old Dogs album. Thank you for all you have given us, sir.
It's Denmark and audiences weren't supposed to make any noise. I think it would be better if they at least looked like they were enjoying it, but that's cultural, too.
I've listen to this song all my life I'm in my 60's never get tired of hearing it...I drove a truck for 3 years and man I can relate to this song very much..Thanks Mr. Bobby for a well deserved song that still being played...Your a great Artist..
This song had special meaning to me too. It was one of the few songs my husband sang during his years with bands. He died in 2009, but still miss him everyday.
I lost my son in 2018, and this is how I think of him, on his way somewhere out there, and me on the station waiting for my train to arrive, so I can catch up with him. But until then I will continue listen to great music
I lost my husband 10years ago so I know how hard it is to endure the pain, we just have to be strong for them okay. I'm a huge fan of Bobby bare his songs are so good it got me through those hard times, I also got the opportunity to meet him last year and became an official fan till date
Bobby Bare was performing this concert in Oslo, Norway in April of 1964. He was accompanied by the Anita Kerr Singers and the Jim Reeves Band the "Blue Boys." This is truly one of my favorite classic country music songs. It is a shame that they don't write country music like this anymore.
We’re all getting older continually and it’s sad one by one these wonderful musicians will be gone. Sure hope there’s a heaven and a music section for all of us to hear our favorites throughout eternity. Thanks, Bobby Bare for you and your voice and songs.
Wonder why this song makes a 40 year old man , who is not even that familiar with country music, weep...literally, with tears streaming down my cheeks. Actually, I know exactly why. It seems to be the song of the girl I used to love who is no more now. Rest in peace Vicki. You're home now.

I am a professional motor coach operator. I drive from the Wichita Kansas Greyhound Bus Terminal to Pueblo, Colorado, which is 450 miles from home, so this is now officially my theme song. Just about brings tears to my eyes. Love it.
Teardrops fell on mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said, "We miss you son, we love you, come on home" Well, I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm 500 miles away from home Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home I know this is the same road I took the day I left home But it sure looks different now Well, I guess I look different too 'Cause time changes everything I wonder what they'll say When they see their boy looking this way Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home Can't remember when I ate It's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still 500 miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still 500 miles away from home Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm still 500 miles away from home Ho, I'm still 500 miles away from home Yyy

Oh what a classic. I'd give anything to go back to those happy days of innocence. Long live Mr. Bare & his great music. The fact he's singing in Germany shows the magnitude of his reach & appeal.
Bobby Bare's song use to keep me company when I was in the service in the late 60's. It help me to think of this song and hear it in my head when thousands of mile from home and all alone. Thanks Bobby !
In Vietnam we sang this song allot as we got short ( days left on rotation) we changed it to 10,000 miles. The orther was we got to get out of this place
Michael Gayer but the vietnamese defeat you in that war,long live asian people,the home and place of the brave people,i say these because i m asian man,i m pro asian and not a pro american,your country colonized my country that resulted many deaths of my old compatriots in the past and they take away the bells for you believe it is your trophy in defeating us? huh? and if not for our tough president s criticizing your bad actions against us,you ll not return that bells,thank God that it comes to your minds,american to return back that bells wich do not belong to you,and this day,you didn t give your apology by saying sorry for what you have done and pay for it.guess what country it is you colonized in southeast asia from 1898 to 1946,guess now,it is in our history and your history,i know you know that.i m waiting for your answer.
@@cyrussebastian5385 Cyrus, you're full of $hit! The US never colonized nor wanted to colonize Viet Nam. The French (colonials) were there & the commies (russians) wanted it all. The southern part of Viet Nam was extremely rural and 3rd world, while the north was slightly more advanced. The russians controlled the north through Ho, while the N. Vietnamese ruthlessly attacked the south. This action drove the final nail into the division of Russia & China. Your knowledge of Asia & it's history seems to be somewhat limited and insufficient, thus probably your YT name...… You Are an Idiot and a Troll.....!
Already moved 12 times by the time I was 10; when this tune came out in '64 I could barely listen to it, so hard it was to find home. Bobby Bare was the first live performer I ever saw at age 14. Thank you.

An old sergeant of the us armee who frequently came by to our restaurant in the frankfort area, took me to the nco and I had the very pleasure to hear this great singer; btw my favorite album is still that "down and dirty", he released in the early '80s. - Do hope, that my English hasn't gone that bad.

I heard him perform this song at the Texas club, in Baton Rouge, La many years ago. I love this song and it was one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar. I would merge his version into the PP&M version.

Bobby Bare is still alive as of this writing. You know.... Many too young armed forces left and never returned! I like how Bobby is all dressed in just about all Black.. The sadness of it all. resonated with many J.Cash's memorial war songs. All the stone memorials. If only they could speak. Blessings to all whether it's you or your're a family member who survived. Let me know if you saw this. Love,
I'm 76 now almost 77. I just wonder when my daughter will be thinking and saying the same thing. sure hope not soon. I love life even though nothing but aches and pains.
I emigrated from England and lived in Johannesburg South Africa in 1963. This was played on the juke box in cafe by the bus station. It resonated with me very much at the time.
John Kyle I noticed that too. People had respect. Times may change but I don’t. You ever start laughing when someone gets mad and tell them they’re great. They don’t know how to respond, but I’m a Vietnam vet in case they want to see if God is real or not. Within the next ten seconds.
the sound of the voice is so magnificent; they don't make'em like that anymore. So many artists from that era got that special voice and I can't describe it; listen to roy orbison, lee hazlewood, the ronettes; whatever; their voices are just so different than anything today; weird.. and I love it
Reason is because of the stereo equipment they recorded on and the sound of their voice was natural with zero editing other than noise reduction/ cancellation. Now day and since the 80s they have been using hi fi equipment which now is termed high res. Everything is digital now. Voices are encrypted and then decoded. Back then it was just the sound of minute scratches on vinyl
been 450 miles from home for over 40yrs and yeah it still is home to me, Edinburgh always will be, its where I can exhale. love this song and where it takes me.

20 years old and on a lark I hitched hike from Phoenix, ariz back to my hometown in Iowa. Flagstaff 5:00am so cold waiting for a ride . Oklahoma City praying for a ride because it’s going to rain any minute. Excelsior Springs, Mo at 2:00 in the morning just hoping the cops didn’t see me sleeping downtown under this awning. When I finally got home I sat down on a park bench in the town square and thanked God that I made it back in one piece and promised myself I would NEVER do such a dumbass thing again!!! This song was running through my mind on that whole journey.
This song really hits hard when I listen to it. Even when I am home, it still makes me feel lonely. Also, for those of who say you can't use a 12-string for country, kiss it! Bobby Bare is one of the greatest country artists ever and he used 12-strings in his early years! I think the one he has in this video is a Gibson B-25 12.
@Case Southerland , my daddy was a self taught guitar player. He too played a 12 string and he sure could sing too. Had his own band and even his his own radio show for awhile. He sang only Country music.

I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1994. I was working at a convenience store in south Florida, he came in with Little Jimmy Dickens. They were doing a fishing show with Wade Reynolds . He is truly a Southern gentleman.
Last year I left my home to travel 15000 kms away from my home, due to the Coronavirus I had to come back... And I spent 2 days trying to get back to my people... And I remember this playing on the airport while looking out the huge windows, cold, alone and hungry; just wanting to be a 5 year old child again on my mother's arms.
Anybody watching this in 2024?
🤚
Yep, and I'm listening to Marie Laveau next.
Imbhere
Yes ❤
Yes
I am watching it in 2024 and there’s sadly no music today compares to stuff like this.
yes there is you just stare at mainstream shit but there are thousand of bands making good music trying to be noticed
That's a fact
Beautiful real singing and real melody

Aint that the truth.
It's April 2024 and I'm plugged in to this melodious song! 💜
He's 88 years young and still singing! ❤
He was promoting his new album on “Outlaw Country” (Sirius/XM) this morning (March 17, 2024)
I was a 19 year old soldier stationed in Korea when I first heard this song on the radio. Boy what memories that brings back to an old man. I would sing along listening to a little transistor radio when on guard duty.
+dabprod I was stationed in Korea too, about 30 years later. It was a lot more than 500 miles from home. Thank you for your service.

+donna nash ......Thank You Donna. I was proud to serve my country.
+dabprod Isn't it funny how a song or a smell can put you right back there?
Anyone listing in 2024?
This song is so true about where our great America has gone ...so far away .. 😢
Technology has destroyed love, people and countries. Nowhere is the same anymore. I wished we never had this technology.
The 20th century had 2 world wars, the destruction of the family and more martyrs murdered because of their faith in Christ than the previous 19 centuries combined. Technology isn’t the problem, evil has been around since the dawn of time.

This was a popular song in Vietnam, which was 10,000 miles from home.

You are right. 👍🏻
Did anyone disliked it,how can see that and who?
Must speak with them,maybe they have problems what must be solved Fast ^^
Boy do i miss these daus
@@chuckschillingvideosHe said he related to the song because it told part of the story of his life. He didn'tclaim credit as composer. I love the lyrics and tune of the song and his rendition.
Chokes me up every time. Home is not just a word. It is a symbol of love. A place of refuge from all that is wrong.

I'm 16 years old raised on this kind of music. this is my all time favorite by far. Bobby Bare is absolutely great.
I wish to know the same. Only 3 years younger than you, if the math inside my head adds up
The country singer of today can't hold a candle to the old country singers
Living thousands of miles away from where I grew up and far from my oldest friends and family this song really hits me hard and deeply.
This was my late father's favorite!...Especially when he was a single man doing time in the navy in the 60's. This fits him well as he travel the world then. We miss you dad!!
A oldie but goodie from the 60,s , how can you not love this music from then. Take us back 🎼🎸💙
Bobby back in the day. This thing gets me in tears. And he drank performing this.
It’s a very beautiful song, they don’t make good music like this nowadays don’t you agree ?
It's seems you're a true fan and has been to couple of his concert years back, I'm a huge fan too, He is definitely the best
I still had 5 years before I was born and I love this song still...

JohnRobert Mauney n
JohnRobert Mauney you are absolutely right!! This was on the radio alot!
Only thing I thing I can truly say good about the boomers is they had good music
I was a ladd of 15 when I first heard american country music. An old sergeant of the us armee who frequently came by to our restaurant in the frankfort area, took me to the nco and I had the very pleasure to hear this great singer; btw my favorite album is still that "down and dirty", he released in the early '80s. - Do hope, that my English hasn't gone that bad.

For me the 500 miles are eternity for the loved ones I have lost. This song makes me cry.
I'm 500 miles away from home
Teardrops fell on momma's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said we miss you son we love you come on home
Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm 500 miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home,
But it sure looks different now. And I guess I look
Different too, cause time changes everything. I wonder what
They'll say, when they see their boy looking this bad.
Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get home
Can't remember when I ate
It's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still 500 miles away from home
If my luck had been just right
I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm 500 miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Oh I'm still 500 miles away from home
lol
I heard him perform this song at the Texas club, in Baton Rouge, La many years ago. I love this song and it was one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar. I would merge his version into the PP&M version.
❤
Away from home, away from home, cold and tired and all alone, I’m still 500 miles away from home
That's farwhere are you
This song of Bobby Bare always bring tears in my eyes as i am less than 5,000 miles away from home,missing you all guys back home.
***** I love those classic country songs

Das ist für mich ein absoluter Gänsehaut Song.Thank you Bobby.
Bobby Bare is still alive as of this writing.
You know....
Many too young armed forces left and never returned!
I like how Bobby is all dressed in just about all Black..
The sadness of it all. resonated with many J.Cash's memorial war songs.
All the stone memorials. If only they could speak.
Blessings to all whether it's you or your're a family member who survived.
Let me know if you saw this. Love,
This the second song we play every night wherever we are. Best version.
Anybody watching this in 2019?
yes
to be sure
Absolutely
Thomson Laikhuram yes
@@saparovnurken sure am lovely tune
Oh, wow, my Mom played the guitar and her and my Dad would sit on back porch and sing this song! I loved this song!
Ive always loved this song. It takes me back a long, long time.
I love this song. Clear and nice voice 👍🏻
Bobby's voice is the perfect match for this song and gives me cold chills.
Hello how are you doing?
@@drakehonest2！
One of the great songs of all time. It has a meaning for so many people.
The old songs like this one really make me miss my dad and remember him even more.
Same for me friend....
markyeeee me to!
Same here.
I'm 76 now almost 77. I just wonder when my daughter will be thinking and saying the same thing. sure hope not soon. I love life even though nothing but aches and pains.
Dan Taylor me too!!!
I was 8 years old when this song was released. Doesn't get better than this. I just bought me a new copy on 45 rpm.
Hey how are you doing today..?
I remember this so well. I sang every word. Thanks Gary Spradlin
Amazing singer nice memories back home still listening to his song... How are you Eve Fox ?
I emigrated from England and lived in Johannesburg South Africa in 1963. This was played on the juke box in cafe by the bus station. It resonated with me very much at the time.
Hey how are you doing today?
From central Illinois, moved north of Detroit, Mi. at age 20.
Still remember the first year. Almost like Bobby was singing my song
Hello how are you doing today?
Tears well up in those eyes everytime.. also sunshine of memories of that place called home..
Look how well dressed the audience is
John Kyle I noticed that too. People had respect. Times may change but I don’t. You ever start laughing when someone gets mad and tell them they’re great. They don’t know how to respond, but I’m a Vietnam vet in case they want to see if God is real or not. Within the next ten seconds.
This is in Norway btw
I'm in my 70's now and love this song just as much now as I did back then. I wish country music was still this good.
It was our song ,he passad away 5 years it brings lots memories 😢😢
the sound of the voice is so magnificent; they don't make'em like that anymore. So many artists from that era got that special voice and I can't describe it; listen to roy orbison, lee hazlewood, the ronettes; whatever; their voices are just so different than anything today; weird.. and I love it
I am age 66 and I've been telling myself for 50 years that they had voices back then.

IMO, it's called singing....don't hear much anymore.
Reason is because of the stereo equipment they recorded on and the sound of their voice was natural with zero editing other than noise reduction/ cancellation. Now day and since the 80s they have been using hi fi equipment which now is termed high res. Everything is digital now. Voices are encrypted and then decoded. Back then it was just the sound of minute scratches on vinyl
@@marioalvidrez231 But to upload the voice to a RUclips video it is uploaded and then decoded
It’s called testosterone
been 450 miles from home for over 40yrs and yeah it still is home to me, Edinburgh always will be, its where I can exhale. love this song and where it takes me.

Beautiful song Makes me yearn for childhood
Hello how are you doing….?
Reminds me of my time in the Marine Corps. So far away from home.
Me too! Semper fi brother!
20 years old and on a lark I hitched hike from Phoenix, ariz back to my hometown in Iowa. Flagstaff 5:00am so cold waiting for a ride . Oklahoma City praying for a ride because it’s going to rain any minute. Excelsior Springs, Mo at 2:00 in the morning just hoping the cops didn’t see me sleeping downtown under this awning. When I finally got home
I sat down on a park bench in the town square and thanked God that I made it back in one piece and promised myself I would NEVER do such a dumbass thing again!!! This song was running through my mind on that whole journey.
I was amazed and overwhelmed seeing great comments on my songs. Thanks once again for supporting. Please send me a mail via.

Bobby always had a serious sadness in his eyes. Nobody ever sang this song like him
Always love to hear this song and nobody ever sing it like he does
Hello how are you doing today 😊😊
Hits me in the feels
Hey how are you doing.?😊
This song really hits hard when I listen to it. Even when I am home, it still makes me feel lonely.
Also, for those of who say you can't use a 12-string for country, kiss it! Bobby Bare is one of the greatest country artists ever and he used 12-strings in his early years! I think the one he has in this video is a Gibson B-25 12.
@Case Southerland , my daddy was a self taught guitar player. He too played a 12 string and he sure could sing too. Had his own band and even his his own radio show for awhile. He sang only Country music.
Grew up listening to you Bobby because of my parents, back in the sixties. Time has changed everything. Never forgot the music. Thank You

I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1994. I was working at a convenience store in south Florida, he came in with Little Jimmy Dickens. They were doing a fishing show with Wade Reynolds . He is truly a Southern gentleman.
20 year later (1984) still amazing! 80's outlaw Bobby! all the way... 2015... still love Bobby!
This is country music at it's best!
Great singer and great song - brings back some memories good and bad
Nothing like Bobby Bare!
Hello how are you doing..?😊
My mom is dead and this song always reminds me of her.
Very sad and touching song .
Im so far removed from home and humanity this song helps bring me back.
Last year I left my home to travel 15000 kms away from my home, due to the Coronavirus I had to come back... And I spent 2 days trying to get back to my people... And I remember this playing on the airport while looking out the huge windows, cold, alone and hungry; just wanting to be a 5 year old child again on my mother's arms.
