Forty miles from popular bluff
I never had a pair of shoes that weren't old hand me downs And daddy's morning coffee came from old left over grounds Moma wore nojeweiry or any store buoght stuff Our home was on the hillside forty miles from Popular Bluff Forty miles back in Missouri there's different way of life Where a man think of his neighbor and not his neighbor's wife Life is far from fancy sometimes kinda ruff But contentment makes it worth it forty miles from Popular Bluff Our only family treasure was a beat up radio It took us to the places we knew we'd never go We never had much money but we aleays had enough Cause money never mattered much forty miles Popular Buff * Refrain Near every whinter when the snow on the grund The road would all be closed and we couldn't get to town But if daddy had his tobacco and trandma had her snuff The winters didn't seem so long forty miles from Popular Buff * Refrain
