Strophe 1
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
Refrain:
Country Roads, take me home
to the place I do belong
West Virginia mountain Momma
Take me home country roads
Strophe 2
All my mem'ries gather round her
minder's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
misty taste of moonshine,
tear drop in my eyes
Refrain:
I hear the voice in the mornin' hours she calls me
the radio reminds me of my home far away
and driving down the road I get a feelin'
that I should have been home yesterday
yesterday
Refrain
