Forty Miles From Poplar Bluff

I've never had a pair of shoes that weren't all 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 beatup 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...
 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 Missoury...
