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

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 

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

All my mem'ries gather round her 
Mine'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 I belong 
West Virginia, mountain mama 
Take me home, country roads 

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 feeling 
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday 

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