《Forty Miles from Poplar Bluff》歌词

[00:00:00] Forty Miles from Poplar Bluff - Hugo Duncan

[00:00:06] I've never had a pair of shoes

[00:00:08] That weren't all hand-me-downs

[00:00:11] And daddy's morning coffee came

[00:00:14] From ol' left over ground

[00:00:16] Well My mama wore no jewelry

[00:00:19] Or any store bought stuff

[00:00:21] And home was on a hillside

[00:00:24] Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

[00:00:27] Forty miles back in Missouri

[00:00:30] There's a different way of life

[00:00:32] Where a man thinks of his neighbor

[00:00:35] And not his neighbor's wife

[00:00:39] Life is far from fancy

[00:00:41] Sometimes mighty rough

[00:00:43] But contentment makes it worth

[00:00:46] It forty miles from Poplar Bluff

[00:00:56] Our only family treasure was a beat up radio

[00:01:01] But it took us to the places

[00:01:03] Where we knew we'd never go

[00:01:06] We never had much money

[00:01:09] But we always had enough

[00:01:11] 'Cause money never mattered much

[00:01:14] Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

[00:01:18] Forty miles back in Missouri

[00:01:20] There's a different way of life

[00:01:22] Where a man thinks of his neighbor

[00:01:25] And not his neighbor's wife

[00:01:29] Life is far from fancy

[00:01:31] Sometimes mighty rough

[00:01:34] But contentment makes it worth it

[00:01:36] Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

[00:01:46] Well nearly every winter

[00:01:48] When the snow is on the ground

[00:01:51] And the roads would all be closed

[00:01:53] And we couldn't get to town

[00:01:56] But if daddy had his tobacco

[00:01:59] Grandma had her snuff

[00:02:01] Then the winters didn't seem

[00:02:04] So long forty miles from Poplar Bluff

[00:02:08] Forty miles back in Missouri

[00:02:10] There's a different way of life

[00:02:13] Where a man thinks of his neighbor

[00:02:15] And not his neighbor's wife

[00:02:19] Life is far from fancy

[00:02:21] Sometimes mighty rough

[00:02:24] But contentment makes it worth

[00:02:26] It forty miles from Poplar Bluff
