Country Roads


[Verse 1]

             
Almost heaven,

 
 West Virginia
             
Blue Ridge Mou

             
ntain, Shenand

     
oah River
              
Life is old th

     
ere, older tha

n the trees

Younger than t

he mountains
             
Growing like a

 
 breeze


[Chorus]

             
Country roads 

        
take me home
            
To the place I

 
 belong
             
West Virginia,

          
 Mountain Mama
             
Take me home c

       
ountry roads


[Verse 2]

             
All my memorie

  
s gather 'roun

d her
            
Miners Lady, s

              
tranger to blu

  
e water
              
Dark and dusky

 
 painted on th

e 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 c

       
ountry roads


[Bridge]

           
I hear the voi

             
ce in the morn

              
ing hour - she

 
 calls me
            
The radio remi

             
nds me of my h

ome far away
            
And driving do

             
wn the road I 

     
get a feeling
             
That I should 

              
have been home

            
 yesterday, ye


sterday


[Chorus]

             
Country roads 

        
take me home
            
To the place I

 
 belong
             
West Virginia,

          
 Mountain Mama
             
Take me home c

       
ountry roads
