Strophe 1

Almost heaven, West Virginia,

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees,

Younger than the mountains, growin‘ like a breeze

Refrain 1

Country roads, take me home,

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain Mamma,

Take me home, country roads

Strophe 1

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

Refrain 2

Country roads, take me home,

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain Mamma,

Take me home, country roads

Bridge

I hear her voice, in the mornin‘ hours she calls me,

The radio reminds me of my home far away

And drivin‘ down the road,

I get a feelin‘ that I should have been home yesterday,

yesterday

Refrain 3

Country roads, take me home,

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain Mamma,

Take me home, country roads

West Virginia, mountain Mamma,

Take me home, country roads.

John Denver
