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 the breeze
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 2]
All my memories, gathered 'round her
Miners' Lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 3]
I hear her voice, in the morning light she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feeling
Like I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads
