(Wikipedia, 2014)
Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge
Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Chorus:
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong West
Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories, gathered 'round her
Miners' Lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Chorus
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get the feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Chorus x 2 (modulates)
Country 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
JOHN DENVER, 1995
