Jim Kweskin - Eight More Miles to Louisville lyrics

I've traveled 'round this country wide seekin' fortune fair Up and down the two coastlines, I've been most everywhere From Portland east, to Portland west, and back along the line I'm goin' back to the place that's best, that old hometown of mine Chorus Eight more miles to Louisville, we're comin' to 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 that's the hometown of my heart There's bound to be a gal somewhere that you love best of all Well, mine lives down in Louisville, she's long and she is tall She's the kind that you can't find ramblin' through the land I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand Chorus I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home It's a humble little shack for two, and we never more will roam The place that's right is in my sight, it's in them bluegra** hills Where gently flows the O-hi-o by place called Louisville Chorus
