|
Almost heaven, West Virginia
|
Blue Ridge Mountains
|
Shenandoah River -
|
Life is old there
|
Older than the trees
|
Younger than the mountains
|
Growin¡¯ 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
|
Teardrops in my eye
|
|
Country Roads, take me home
|
To the place I belong
|
West Virginia, mountain momma
|
Take me home, country roads
|
|
I hear her voice
|
In the mornin¡¯ hour she calls me
|
The radio reminds me of my home far away
|
And drivin¡¯ down the road I get a feelin¡¯
|
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
|
|
Country Roads, take me home
|
To the place I belong
|
West Virginia, mountain momma
|
Take me home, country roads
|
|
Country Roads, take me home
|
To the place I belong
|
West Virginia, mountain momma
|
Take me home, country roads
|
Take me home, now country roads
|
Take me home, now country roads
|
