Eight More Miles To Louisville Lyrics - 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...
