Take Me Home, Country Roads

John Denver, Bill Danoff, and Taffy Nivert

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 Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma, 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 momma, take me home, Country Roads.

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday - yesterday.

Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain momma, take me home, Country Roads.

Take me home, Country Roads
Take me home, Country Roads.
