Forty Miles from Poplar Bluff - Hugo Duncan[00:00:00]
I've never had a pair of shoes[00:00:06]
That weren't all hand-me-downs[00:00:08]
And daddy's morning coffee came[00:00:11]
From ol' left over ground[00:00:14]
Well My mama wore no jewelry[00:00:16]
Or any store bought stuff[00:00:19]
And home was on a hillside [00:00:21]
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff[00:00:24]
Forty miles back in Missouri[00:00:27]
There's a different way of life[00:00:30]
Where a man thinks of his neighbor[00:00:32]
And not his neighbor's wife[00:00:35]
Life is far from fancy [00:00:39]
Sometimes mighty rough[00:00:41]
But contentment makes it worth[00:00:43]
It forty miles from Poplar Bluff[00:00:46]
Our only family treasure was a beat up radio[00:00:56]
But it took us to the places[00:01:01]
Where we knew we'd never go[00:01:03]
We never had much money[00:01:06]
But we always had enough[00:01:09]
'Cause money never mattered much[00:01:11]
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff[00:01:14]
Forty miles back in Missouri[00:01:18]
There's a different way of life[00:01:20]
Where a man thinks of his neighbor[00:01:22]
And not his neighbor's wife[00:01:25]
Life is far from fancy [00:01:29]
Sometimes mighty rough[00:01:31]
But contentment makes it worth it[00:01:34]
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff[00:01:36]
Well nearly every winter[00:01:46]
When the snow is on the ground[00:01:48]
And the roads would all be closed[00:01:51]
And we couldn't get to town[00:01:53]
But if daddy had his tobacco[00:01:56]
Grandma had her snuff[00:01:59]
Then the winters didn't seem[00:02:01]
So long forty miles from Poplar Bluff[00:02:04]
Forty miles back in Missouri[00:02:08]
There's a different way of life[00:02:10]
Where a man thinks of his neighbor[00:02:13]
And not his neighbor's wife[00:02:15]
Life is far from fancy [00:02:19]
Sometimes mighty rough[00:02:21]
But contentment makes it worth[00:02:24]
It forty miles from Poplar Bluff[00:02:26]
