Take Me Home Country Roads

John Denver - Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert

© Cherry Lane Music, ASCAP

Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowing 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 round her
Miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye

Country roads take me home to the place I belong...

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
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...
Country roads take me home to the place I belong...

Take me home (down) country roads
Take me home (down) country roads
