Well now eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more miles on this old road and I’ll never more be blue
Well I knew some day that I’d come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more miles and Louisville, the hometown of my heart

Yeah now I can picture in my dreams, a place we’ll call our home
Yeah a swinging little pad for two from which we'd never roam
And The place that’s right for that love sight is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville

Well now eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more miles on this old road and I’ll never more be blue
Well I knew some day that I’d come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more miles and Louisville, the hometown of my heart
Yeah, eight more miles and Louisville, the hometown of my heart
