Eight More Miles |
First I left old Louisville |
My folks said you’ll be back |
Well that you’ll ride on the freight train and |
Went whistling down the track |
I knew all the time I would come back |
I knew it from the start |
It’s eight more miles to Louisville |
Home town of my heart |
And it’s eight more miles of this old road |
The road that makes me blue |
And it’s eight more miles of this old road |
And Louisville’s in view |
Well I knew all the time I would come back |
I knew it from the start |
And it’s eight more miles to Louisville |
The home town of my heart |
The first I saw the city streets |
My eyes went wild with joy |
Well I did not know just how those folk |
Would treat a country boy |
Well with my country clothes and all |
They took me for a fool |
I just climbed back on the freight train |
And went back to Kentucky’s jewel |
And it’s eight more miles of this old road |
The road that made me blue |
And it’s eight more miles of this old road |
And Louisville’s in view |
Well I knew all the time I would come back |
I knew it from the start |
And it’s eight more miles to Louisville |
The home town of my heart |
Well, you could say I’m just a country boy |
I’ll tell you that it’s true |
Cos I’m going back to the old neighbourhood |
Just like I used to do |
Well I knew all the time I would come back |
I knew it from the start |
It’s just eight more miles to Louisville |
Home town of my heart |
And it’s eight more miles of this old road |
The road that made me blue |
It’s eight more miles of this old road |
And Louisville’s in view |
Well I knew all the time I would come back |
I knew it from the start |
And it’s eight more miles to Louisville |
The home town of my heart |
And it’s eight more miles to Louisville |
The home town of my heart |
And it’s eight more miles to Louisville |
The home town of my heart — yee-hah! |
