Strophe 1



Almost heaven,

West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains

Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees

younger than the mountain, growing like a breeze



Refrain:



Country Roads, take me home

to the place I do belong

West Virginia mountain Momma

Take me home country roads



Strophe 2



All my mem'ries gather round her

minder's lady stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty painted on the sky

misty taste of moonshine,

tear drop in my eyes



Refrain:



I hear the voice in the mornin' hours she calls me

the radio reminds me of my home far away

and driving down the road I get a feelin'

that I should have been home yesterday

yesterday



Refrain
