Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton - Forty Miles from Poplar Bluff lyrics

I've never had a pair of shoes
That weren't ol' hand-me downs
And daddy's morning coffee came from
Ol' left over ground my mama wore no jewelry
Or any storebought stuff
And home was on a hillside
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

Forty miles back in Missouri there's
A different way of life
Where a man thinks of his neighbor
And not his neighbor's wife
Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

Our only family treasure was a beat up radio
But it took us to the places
Where we knew we'd never go
We never had much money but
We always had enough
'Cause money never mattered much forty
Miles from Poplar Bluff

Forty miles back in Missouri there's
A different way of life
Where a man thinks of his neighbor
And not his neighbor's wife
Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

Well nearly every winter when the
Snow is on the ground
And the roads would all be closed
And we couldn't get to town
But if daddy had his tabaccer
Grandma had her snuff
Then the winters didn't seem so long
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff

Forty miles back in Missouri there's
A different way of life
Where a man thinks of his neighbor
And not his neighbor's wife
Life is far from fancy sometimes mighty rough
But contentment makes it worth it
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff
Forty miles from Poplar Bluff
