Singer/ songwriter Zachary Scot Johnson ( www.zacharyscotjohnson.com ) performs a cover of Hedy West, Curly Williams, and John Phillips' "500 Miles" on day 1197 of thesongadayproject.


    The song appears on the 1961 self-titled debut album by The Journeymen;[6] this may have been its first release.
    The song was heard on the February, 1962 Kingston Trio live album College Concert (a 1962 US #3).
    It was further popularized by Peter, Paul and Mary (it was the second track on their US #1, May 1962 debut album).[7][8]
    Rewritten with new lyrics (by Bobby Bare), it charted as a hit single by American country music singer Bobby Bare in 1963 (#10 US, #7 NOR, #9 SWE, #16 DEN).[3] Bare's version features a spoken recitation following the repeat of the refrain, before he sings one original line of his second verse. Following this, he makes a transition from the key of G to the key of D for the third verse, featuring a counterpoint portion by the backup singers, before making a transition back to the key of G for the last refrain, before the song's fade.
    The lyrics feature heavily in the Bob Dylan song "I Was Young When I Left Home".
    Dick and Dee Dee released a version of the song on their 1964 album, Turn Around.[9]
    The Hooters recorded a version of this song with additional lyrics, dedicated to the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. It goes: "A hundred tanks along the square, one man stands and stops them there. Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free".
    It has also been recorded by the Brothers Four, Sonny & Cher, Johnny Rivers, Alexander Rybak, Reba McEntire, Jackie DeShannon, The Seekers, Elvis Presley, The Highwaymen, The Seldom Scene, Nick Cave, Richard Anthony, Franco Battiato, Rosanne Cash, Bad Astronaut, Peter and Gordon, Eric Bibb, Hootenanny Singers, the innocence mission, Joan Baez, Takako Matsu, Justin Timberlake, The Persuasions and many others.[10] Recently, the song has been recorded by Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan and Stark Sands for the soundtrack of the film Inside Llewyn Davis.[11]
