Every time I make this trip,
G A D
40 miles is all it takes.
Along the way I see my life,
G A D
Every triumph and mistake.
There's the tree where we carved a heart,
G A D
And signed our names to show our love.
Now the memories come flooding back,
G A D
With all the things we were dreaming of.
G D
40 miles won't take a day,
Bm A G
But its a long, long way.
D
Its not far as the crow flies,
Em G D Em G D
My whole life in 40 miles.
I remember one dark day,
G A D
Limping home all stoney broke.
The golden boy all ragged and torn,
G A D
The longest miles that I ever drove.
Later on when the years had turned,
G A D
Coming home with a heart full of pride.
Telling all the sweet old stories,
G A D
To the woman soon to be my bride.
G D
40 miles won't take a day,
Bm A G
But its a long, long way.
D
Its not far as the crow flies,
Em G D Em G D
My whole life in 40 miles.
There's the road to the old stone church,
G A D
Where we layed grandma down to rest.
I remember what she said:
G A D
I'm ready child, now please don't fret.
Now I just passed the second creek,
G A D
Another circle has come around.
It won't be long till I see the light,
G A D
40 miles behind me now.
G D
40 miles won't take a day,
Bm A G
But its a long, long way.
D
Its not far as the crow flies,
Em G D
My whole life in 40 miles.
Em G D
My whole life in 40 miles.
