INTRO


      D
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.
