Forty Miles Of Bad Road

Don't let me bring you down

When I'm too tough to be around

Just walk right on by and don't look back

There's a lonely man with eyes of stone

He's seen more trouble than you'll ever know

A piece of him got left behind just walk on by

Cause it's 40 miles of bad road

And I got troubles on my mind

It's 40 miles of bad road

And you ain't got the time so walk on by

When you catch me feeling low

Don't ask unless you wanna know

When you see it in my eyes just turn and go

Thinking bout driving through the desert tonight

Don't know if it'll help but it just might

I'm a million miles away just walk on by

Cause it's 40 miles of bad road

And I got troubles on my mind

It's 40 miles of bad road

And you ain't got the time so walk on by

Do you wanna take drive

Is that what it takes to make you feel alive

You got your own problems and brother I got mine

Cause we all know that's the way it goes

And we all know that it's a long bad road

And sometimes I think t hat's all we'll ever know

Cause it's 40 miles of bad road

And I got troubles on my mind

It's 40 miles of bad road

And you ain't got the time so walk on by
