Country Roads Lyrics
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.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
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 mama
Take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice in the mornin’ hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road, I get a feelin’
That I should’ve been home yesterday, yesterday.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads,
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads.
