[Intro]

            


[Verse 1]

             
  Almost heave

  
n,    West Vir

ginia,
             
  Blue Ridge M

             
ountains, Shen

        
andoah River.
             
  Life is old 

       
there, older t

han the trees,
             
Younger than t

              
he mountains, 

             
growin' like a

   
 breeze.


[Chorus]

             
Country roads,

         
 take me home
           
To the place I

   
 belong:
             
West Virginia,

          
 mountain momm

a,
             
Take me home, 

              
country roads.


[Verse 2]

             
   All my mem'

     
ries,    gathe

r 'round her,
             
   Miner's lad

             
y, stranger to

      
 blue water.
             
   Dark and du

     
sty, painted o

n the sky,
             
   Misty taste

              
 of moonshine,

             
 teardrop in m

  
y eye.


[Chorus]

             
Country roads,

         
 take me home
           
To the place I

   
 belong:
             
West Virginia,

          
 mountain momm

a,
             
Take me home, 

        
country roads.


[Bridge]

           
    I hear her

             
 voice, in the

 
 mornin' hour 

she calls me,
            
The radio remi

             
nds me of my h

ome far away.
           
And drivin' do

       
wn the road
             
I get a feelin

             
' that I shoul

              
d have been ho

             
me yesterday, 

      
yesterday.


[Chorus]

             
Country roads,

         
 take me home
           
To the place I

   
 belong:
             
West Virginia,

          
 mountain momm

a,
             
Take me home, 

        
country roads.
             
Country roads,

         
 take me home
           
To the place I

   
 belong:
             
West Virginia,

          
 mountain momm

a,
             
Take me home, 

        
country roads.


[Outro]

             
Take me home, 

              
(down) country

 
 roads.
             
Take me home, 

              
(down) country
