Forty Mile Town

I got a way I can find you

Down the melody ranch

I know you're there 'most everyday

That's where you like to spend some time alone

I need to talk to you

Tell you what I feel, like

Warm "Hello's" In the morning mist

And you're the magic that turns my heart around

Seems to me, we're really living way too fast

Oh, when we should let the story of love last

Sometimes I just want to go and drift away

And move on to some forty mile town

I got a way I can see you

Close my eyes and start to

Watch the ancient water flow

Like a crystal dance that paupers know so well

That's the way kings keep dreamin'

Hold their head up high and

Live below forty mile skies

The way that it can be in ocean towns

Things of this world, guess we never really own

Oh, that mountain falls and then we're goin' home

We should try to make the best and get away

And work on towards a forty mile town

Seems to me we really need to feel love more

Oh, an ordinary smile opens the door

Sometimes all I want to do is dream away

And wake up in some forty mile town
