(by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver)

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. 

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

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. 

CHORUS 
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' 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 

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