I've
traveled all this country wide
Seekin' fortune fair
Up and down the two coast
lines I've traveled everywhere
From
Portland east to
Portland west
And back along the line
I'm goin' now to the place that's best
That old hometown of mine
Eight more miles and
Louisville will come into my view
Eight more miles on this old
road and I'll never more be blue
I knew someday that I'd be back,
knew it from the start
Eight more miles to
Louisville, the hometown of my heart
There's bound to be a girl somewhere
that you like be st of all
Mine lives down in
Louisville, she's long and she's tall
But she's the kind that you can't find
a -ramblin' through the land
I'm on my way this very day
to win her heart in hand
Eight more miles and
Louisville will come into 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, the hometown of my
heart
I can picture in my mind a
place that we'll call home
A humble little house for two we'll
never want to roam
The place that's right for that love
site is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the
Ohio by a place called
Louisville
Eight more mile and
Louisville will come into my view
Eight more mile 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 mile to
Louisville, the hometown
of my heart
you
