Country Roads lyrics

Song information

Artist: John Denver
Album: Best Of John Denver Live

Lyrics

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

Chorus:
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my mem'ries, gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Chorus

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get the feeling'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Chorus x 2
