Lyrics :

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

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

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

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

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

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, there country roads
Take me home, country roads, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... whoo
