Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is older, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
The radio reminds me of my home far away
It is here we must begin
Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is older 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, yeah
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of a moonshine, teardrop in her eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama, yeah
Take me home, country roads
My song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 99 in April of '71
The Temptations, "Just My Imagination" was number one
That week, Lieutenant Calley had been sentenced to life in prison
For killing Vietnamese civilians in Eli
Nixon promised to bring the troops home
The Supreme Court approved busing to integrate schools
And "Country Roads" climbed up the charts
The song got into the national bloodstream
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 roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia (West Virginia), oh, mountain mama, yeah (mountain mama, yeah) yeah
Take me home (take me home)
Country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home
Down country roads
Take me home
Down country roads
