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.
 
[Chorus]
 
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
 
[Verse 2]
 
   All my mem'ries,    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.
 
[Chorus]
 
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
 
[Bridge]
 
    I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me,
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And drivin' down the road
I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
 
[Chorus]
 
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
 
[Outro]
 
Take me home, (down) country roads.
Take me home, (down) country roads.
