[Intro]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 1]
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
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, teardrops in my eye
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
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
And driving 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 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
[Outro]
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 1]
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
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, teardrops in my eye
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
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
And driving 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 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
[Outro]
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads
