SINGER: Willie Nelson

SONG:Eight More Miles To Louisville

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...
