500 Miles Away from Home is the debut studio album by American country artist Bobby Bare.

The single reached the top ten on the American country, pop, and adult contemporary music charts.

Bare became increasingly dissatisfied with his musical choices and decided to relaunch himself as a country artist in the sixties.

It was followed by a remake of the folk tune, "500 Miles Away from Home", which reached similar crossover commercial success.

The album also featured a cover of Billy Grammer's 1958 top five country single, "Gotta Travel On".
