[Verse 1]

Almost Heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze

[Chorus]

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

[Bridge]

I hear her voice in the morning hour, 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

[Chorus]

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

[Outro]

Take me home, (Down) country roads

Take me home, (Down) country roads
