Almost heaven, West Virgina 
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River 
Life is old there, older than the trees 
Younger than the mountains, flowing like the breeze. 

Country roads, take me home 
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama  
Take me home, country roads.  

All my memories gather 'round her  
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water  
Dark and dusky, 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 roads.  

I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls to me  
Radio reminds me of my home far away  
Driving down the road I get a feeling  
That I should have been home yesterday (yesterday)  

Country roads, take me home  
To the place I belong  
West Virginia, mountain mama  
Take me home, country roads.
