Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
[Verse 2]
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
[Verse 3]
If I
All my memories
Should stay
They gather 'round her
I would only be in your way
A miner's lady, stranger to blue water
[Verse 4]
So I’ll go
Dark and dusty
Yet I know
Painted on the sky
I’ll think of you each step of the way
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye
[Verse 5]
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
[Verse 6]
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We’re the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way, and our way
[Verse 7]
Country roads, country roads
Take me home, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Oh, take her home, country roads
[Verse 8]
Oh I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
[Verse 9]
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Take me home, country road
Take me home, country road
And I will always love you
On the road again
I will always love you
I just can’t wait to get on the road again
Country road
The life I love his making music with my friends
I can’t wait to get on the road again
Take me home, country road
I will always love you, I'll always love you
Written by: Bill Danoff, Dolly Parton, John Denver, Taffy Nivert, Willie Nelson
