Andy Byron: Music
40 Miles to San Antone
(Copyright 2007 Andy Byron Music ASCAP)
Written in 1979
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
Lord I wait can’t go straight
Gotta get back to my home state
Oh Virginia, Peggy Sue
Wait til you see what I got for you
Fifty tons of pig iron
And a sidekick name of Joe
This load of mine is way behind
It’s time to let ‘er go
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
Out here they call me “Ole’ John Deere”
At home they call me Bill
I never lie and I never cry
And I swear I never will
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
Get me up let me down
Get me through this turnaround
Long time comin’ from where I’ve been
Tomorrow I go back again
That sign just read there’s scales ahead
Of this run I’ve had my fill
I pray to God my head don’t nod
As I pop my last white pill
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
40 miles, 40 miles, 40 miles to San Antone
