Country Roads Songtext / Lyric

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.

Refrain:
Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, Country Roads.

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.

Refrain:
Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, Country Roads.

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.

Refrain:
Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, Country Roads.
