    Take Me Home Country Roads Lyrics – John Denver 

    [Verse 1]
    Almost Heaven, West Virginia
    Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
    Life is old there, older than the trees
    Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze

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

    [Verse 2]
    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

    [Chorus]
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    [Bridge]
    I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    Driving down the road, I get a feeling
    That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

    [Chorus]
    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

    [Outro]
    Take me home, (Down) country roads
    Take me home, (Down) country roads
