Eight More Miles To Louisville

I've traveled o'er this country wide seeking fortune fair
 Up and down both coast lines I've traveled everywhere
 From Portland East to Portland West and all along the line
 I'm going now to the place that's best, that old hometown of mine
 Oh, 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 come back, I knew it from the start
 Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
 ♪
 Now you might have a gal somewhere that you like best of all
 Mine comes down from Louisville, she's little and she's small
 She's the kind you just can't find traveling through the land
 I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
 Oh, 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 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 we'll call our home
 A humble little hut for two, we'll never have to roam
 The place that's right for that love sight is in those bluegrass hills
 Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville
 Oh, 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 come back, I knew it from the start
 Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
