I've traveled
round this country wide
Seeking fortune fair
Up and down the two coastline
And I've been most everywhere
From Portland east to Portland west
And back along the line
I'm going back to
the place that's best
That old hometown of mine
Eight more miles to Louisville
We're coming to my view
Eight more miles on this old road
and I'll never more be blue
I knew some day that I'd come back,
I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville,
that's the hometown of my heart
There's bound to be a girl
somewhere you love best of all
Well mine lives down in Louisville,
she's long and she is tall
She's the kind that you can't find
rambling through the land
I'm on my way this very day
to win her heart and hand
Now eight more miles to Louisville,
we're coming to my view
Eight more miles down this old road,
now never more be blue
I knew someday that I'd come back,
I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville,
that's the hometown of mine
I got it
Well, I can picture in my mind
a place we'll call our home
It's a humble little shack for two
and we never more will roam
The place that's right is in my sight
and it's in them bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio
by a place called Louisville
Now eight more miles to Louisville
we're coming to my view
Eight more miles on this old road
and I'll never more be blue
I knew someday that I'd come back,
I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville,
that's the hometown of
