[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

[Verse 2]

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong

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 mamma
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads
[Outro]
Take me home, (Down) country roads
Take me home, (Down) country roads
