Verse:

I've traveled o'er the country wide seeking fortune fair.
Up and down the two coast lines, I've traveled everywhere.
From Portland east to Portland west and back along the line.
I'm going now to the place that's best, that old home town of mine.

 

Chorus:

Eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view.
Eight more miles on this old road, 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.
