Now when [C]I was growin' up, there was a [F]beat-up pickup [C]truck
took my dad and me down the [G]dusty country [C]roads
Now [C]years have come and gone, that old [F]truck still rolls a[C]long
{eov}
{soc}
And the [F]lessons that I learned as the [C]old truck rumbled on,
They got me when I don't know where to [G]go
Though the [F]old man's gone away, things he [C]taught ring true today
As I travel down this [G]dusty country [C]road
{eoc}
{c: Instrumental}
Now [C]she worked dawn to dust, always [F]kept the family [C]first
And she taught us to be [G]all that we could [C]be
I've travelled far and wide, I still [F]feel her by my [C]side
Every time that I reach [G]out and touch my [C]dreams
{soc}
{c: Chorus}

{c: Instrumental}
No [C]matter where you go, there's a [F]dusty country [C]road
Oh, they twist, they turn, they [G]change every [C]day
Now together or alone, that [F]old road keeps goin' [C]on
And it's what you've learned that [G]helps you find your [C]way

{c: Instrumental}
I've travelled o'er this country wide seeking fortune fair
Up an down the two coast lines I've travelled everywhere
Portland east and Portland West and back across the line
I'm goin' down to the place that's best, the ol' hometown of mine
{soc}
Well eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more miles on this ol' road and I'll never more be blue

Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
{eoc}
{c: Instrumental}
There's got to be a gal somewhere that you love best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville, she's little small oh she's small
She's the kind you can't find a' ramblin' through the land
I'm goin' there this very day to win her heart and hand
{soc}
Well eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view

{c: Instrumental}
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 sight is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently rolls the Ohio near a place called Louisville
{soc}
Oh eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more miles on this ol' road and I'll never more be blue
