Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Almost Heaven, west Jamaica
True ridge mountains, shining down the river
All my friends there, older than those ridge
Younger than the mountain, blowin' like a breeze
[Verse 2]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my old mama, mama
Take me home country roads
[Verse 3]
I heard her voice, in the morning hour, she calls me
Said, "Son, you remind me of my home far away"
Drivin' down the road, I feel a sickness
I shoulda been home yesterday, yesterday
[Verse 4]
All my memories all gather 'round her
My, my lady, stranger to the water, water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, tears fall out my eyes
[Verse 5]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my, my, my, my mama, mama
Won't you take me home country roads?
[Verse 6]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my, my, my, my mama, mama
Won't you take me home country roads?
[Verse 7]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my, my, my, my mama, mama
Won't you take me home country roads?
