"Take Me Home, Country Roads" lyrics - CHARLES WESLEY GODWIN

CHARLES WESLEY GODWIN
"Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' 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 memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on her skies
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes

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

[Bridge:]
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

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

[Outro:]
Go take me home down country roads
Go take me home down country roads
