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

 Country roads, take me home
 To the place, I be-long
 West virginia, mountain momma
 Take me home, country roads

 All my mem’ries, gather ’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, I be-long
 West virginia, mountain momma
 Take me home, country roads

 I hear her voice, in the mornin’ hours she calls to me
 The radio reminds me of my home far a-way
 And drivin’ down the road I get a feeling’
 That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

 Country roads, take me home
 To the place, I be-long
 West virginia, mountain momma
 Take me home, country roads
