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 belong.

West Virginia, mountain mamma,

take me home, country roads.

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.

Country roads, take me home

to the place I belong.

West Virginia, mountain mamma,

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 have been home

yesterday, yesterday.

Country roads, take me home

to the place I belong.

West Virginia, mountain mamma,

take me home, country roads.
