[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
[Verse 2]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 3]
All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
[Verse 4]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 5]
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving on the road, I get a feeling that I
Should have been home yesterday, yesterday
[Verse 6]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 7]
Take me home, yeah, country roads
Take me home, country roads, yeah
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Whoo!
