I've traveled o'er this country wide, seeking fortune fair
Up and down the two coast lines, I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East to Portland West and back across the line
I'm a-goin' down to the place that's best, the 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 come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
ย
There's got to be a gal somewhere that you'd like best of all
Now, find this town in Louisville, she's long and she's tall
And she's the kind that you can't find a-ramblin' through the land
I'm a-goin' there this very day to win her heart and 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 someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
ย
Now, I can picture in my mind the place we'll call our home
A humble little hut for two, we'll never want to roam
The place that's right for that love sight is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio near a place called Louisville
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
Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
