Lyrics for Song: Take Me Home Country Roads
Lyrics for Album: Let Me Be There
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
BlowinÂ’ 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 gathered ‘round her
MinerÂ’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops 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 morninÂ’ hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivinÂ’ down the road I get a feelinÂ’
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
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

Take Me Home Country Roads
Olivia Newton-John's 'Take Me Home Country Roads' stands as a defining anthem of the late 1970s country-pop revival. Released on her album 'Let Me Be There,' the track blends traditional country instrumentation with her signature vocal style to create a nostalgic soundscape that resonated globally. The song's themes of longing and the desire to return to one's roots became inextricably linked to the American South, particularly Virginia, in the public imagination. As a staple of her discography, it exemplifies her ability to craft emotionally resonant pop-country recordings that transcended genre boundaries. The composition remains a cultural touchstone, frequently covered and celebrated for its enduring melody and heartfelt message about home and identity. |
