Take Me Home Country Roads

(B. Donoff, T. Nivert, J. Denver)



Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the tree

Younger than the mountains growing like a breeze

Country road's, take me home to the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads.



All my memories gather 'round her

She's a miner's lady and stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine and teardrop in my eye

Country roads take me home to the place I belong

I said, West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads.



I hear her voice in the morning hours 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, I said, take me home

I wanna go to the place where I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

Take me home...
