driving down the road

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

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 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 roads

i hear her voice, in the morning hours she calls to me
the radio reminds me of my home far away
and 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
