VERSE 1:
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.
CHORUS:
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
VERSE 2:
All my mem'ries, 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.
CHORUS:
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
BRIDGE:
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me,
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
CHORUS: [Repeat 2X]
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
OUTRO:
Take me home, country roads.
Take me home, down country roads.
