Eight More Miles To Louisville (Simply Bluegrass)

I've traveled o'er this country wide seeking fortune fair

Up and down both coastlines, 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 girl somewhere that you like best of all

Mine comes down from Louisville, she's long and she's tall

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

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

Yeah, thank you

Yes fam
