John Denver: Take Me Home Country Roads

Take Me Home Country Roads
Artist: John Denver


Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
older than the tree
younger than the mountains
growin' like a breeze

Country Roads
take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
country roads

All my mem'ries
gather around her
Miner's lady
stranger to blue water
dark and dusty
painted on the skies
misty taste of moonshine
teardrop in my eyes
　

Country Roads
take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hours
she calls me
the radio reminds me of my home
far away
and drivin' down the road I get a feeling
that I should have been home yesterday
yesterday

　

Country Roads
take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
my country roads
