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.
Country roads take me home
to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mama,
safety home, country road
All my memories gather round her
Miners, ladies, strangers to good water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty paste of moonshine
teardrops in my eye
Country road, take me home
to the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country road
I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls 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 road, take me home,
to the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain mama,
take me home, take me home
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, love you mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
