Eric Johnson Forty Mile Town Lyrics

Forty Mile Town Lyrics

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 hellos 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
fourty mile town.

I got a way I can see you,
Close my eyes 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 fourty mile skys,
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 fourty mile town.

Seems to me
we really need to feel love more,
Oh, and ordinary simle opens the
door.
Sometimes all I want to do is dream away...
And wake up in some
fourty mile town.
