Oh well I've traveled o'er this country wide a seekin' 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 goin' 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...
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
