"Take Me Home, Country Roads" Lyrics 
 

Almost heaven,  

West Virginia, 

Blue Ridge Mountain,  

Shenandoah River, 

Life is old there,  

Older than the trees, 

Younger than the mountains,  

Growing like a breeze 

Country Roads,  

Take me home 

To the place I belong, 

West Virginia,  

Mountain mamma, 

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 Mamma, 

take me home  

Country roads 

I hear her voice  

In the morning hour  

As she calls me 

The radio reminds me  

Of my home far away 

Driving down the road  

I get a feeling 

That I should have been  

Home yesterday, 

Yesterday Country Roads,  

Take me home 

To the place I belong, 

West Virginia,  

Mountain Mamma, 

Take me home  

Country roads 

Country Roads,  

Take me home 

To the place I belong, 

West Virginia,  

Mountain Mamma, 

Take me home  

Country roads 

Take me home,  

Country road 

Take me home,  

Country road
