[Intro]
D  Em  G  D
Every Dtime I make this trip,
40 Gmiles Ais all it Dtakes.
Along the way I see my life,
Every Gtriumph Aand misDtake.
There's the tree where we carved a heart,
And signed our Gnames Ato show our Dlove.
Now the memories come flooding back,
With all the Gthings Awe were dreaming Dof.
40 Gmiles won't take a Dday,
But its a Bmlong, Along Gway.
Its not far as the crow Dflies,
My whole Emlife Gin 40 Dmiles.Em  G  D  
I remember one dark day,
Limping Ghome Aall stoney Dbroke.
The golden boy all ragged and torn,
The longest Gmiles Athat I ever Ddrove.
Later on when the years had turned,
Coming hoGme with a Aheart full of Dpride.
Telling all the sweet old stories,
To the Gwoman Asoon to be my Dbride.
40 Gmiles won't take a Dday,
But its a Bmlong, Along Gway.
Its not far as the crow Dflies,
My whole Emlife Gin 40 Dmiles.Em  G  D  
There's the road to the old stone church,
Where we layed Ggrandma Adown to Drest.
I remember what she said:
I'm ready Gchild, Anow please don't Dfret.
Now I just passed the second creek,
Another ciGrcle Ahas come aDround.
It won't be long till I see the light,
40 Gmiles Abehind me Dnow.
40 Gmiles won't take a Dday,
But its a Bmlong, Along Gway.
Its not far as the crow Dflies,
My whole Emlife Gin 40 Dmiles.
My whole Emlife Gin 40 Dmiles.

Every time I make this trip,

40 miles is all it takes.

Along the way I see my life,

But its a long, long way.

Its not far as the crow flies,

My whole life in 40 miles.

Limping home all stoney broke.

The golden boy all ragged and torn,

Coming home with a heart full of pride.

Telling all the sweet old stories,

To the woman soon to be my bride.

Now I just passed the second creek,

Another circle has come around.

It won't be long till I see the light,
