paroles de chanson Eight More Miles To Louisville - Reno & Smiley

I've travelled over this country wide a seekin' fortune fair
I've been down the two coastlines, I've travelled everywhere
From Portland east to Portland west and back across the line
I'm goin' now to a place that's best, that 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

There should be a girl somewhere that you like best of all
Now 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

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 I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little court 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 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
