Lyrics Eight More Miles To Louisville - Willie Nelson

I′ve traveled o'er the country wide a seekin′ 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
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 home town of my heart
(Banjo - keyboards)
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
But 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
Oh eight more miles and Louisville...
(Banjo - keyboards)
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
Eight more miles to Louisville...
