Eight More Miles to Louisville Lyrics

(Louis M. Jones)

I've traveled o'er this country wide a seeking fortune fair
I've been down the two coast lines I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East and Portland West and back along the line
I'm goin' now to a place that's best that old home town of mine.

Oh, eight more miles and Louisville will come in to 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.

There's sure to be a girl somewhere that you like best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and she is tall
She's the kind that you can't find a rambling through the land
I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand.Osborne Brothers - Eight More Miles to Louisville - http://motolyrics.com/osborne-brothers/eight-more-miles-to-louisville-lyrics.html

Oh eight more miles and Louisville will come in to 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.

Now I can picture in my mind a 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 site is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville.

Oh, eight more miles and Louisville will come in to 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...
