Oh well, I've
Traveled over this country wide
A seeking fortune fair
I've been down the two coast lines
I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East
To Portland West
And back across the line
I'm going now
To a place I love
And it's that old hometown of mine
Son, just eight more miles to Louisville
They're gonna come into my view
Eight more miles on this old road
And I'll never more be blue
Well, I knew someday
That I'd return
I knew it from the start
Son, just eight more miles to Louisville
The hometown of my heart
Jump on it, son
Just eight more miles to Louisville
There's eight more miles to Louisville
They're gonna come into my view
Eight more miles on this old road
And I'll never more be blue
Well, I knew someday
That I'd return
I knew it from the start
Son, just eight more miles to Louisville
The hometown of my heart
Son, just eight more miles to Louisville
The hometown of my heart
Son, just eight more miles
Eight more miles
Son, there's eight more miles
Eight more miles to Louisville
