Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River.
Life is old there,
Older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze. 

Country road, take me home
To the place where I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road. 

All my memories gathered '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 road, take me home
To the place where I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road. 

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me,
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday 

Country road, take me home
To the place where I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.
