Almost heaven

"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,
Growing like a breeze

Country roads,
Take me home,
To the place I belong;
West Virginia,
Mountain momma,
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,
Teardrops in my eye.

Country roads,
Take me home,
To the place I belong;
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 dreamin' down the road
I get a feelin'
That I should have been
Home yesterday, yesterday.

Country roads,
Take me home,
To the place I belong;
West Virginia,
Mountain momma,
Take me home,
Country roads.
