Take Me Home, Country Roads (Original Version)

John Denver


Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breezeCountry roads, take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roadsAll 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 Mama
Take me home, country roadsI hear her voice, in the mornin' hour 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, yesterdayCountry roads, take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
