“Take Me Home, Country Roads”

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze


Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads


All my memories gather round her, miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye


Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads


I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me,the radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday


Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads


Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

Take me home down, country roads
Take me home down, country roads
