John Denver
VERSE 1
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
CHORUS 1
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
VERSE 2
All my memories 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
CHORUS 2
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
BRIDGE
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
CHORUS 3
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
FINAL CHORUS
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
end
