"Take Me Home Country Road" lyrics - ISRAEL KAMAKAWIWO'OLE

Almost Heaven, West Makaha
High-ridge mountain, crystal-clear blue water
All my friends there hanging on da beach
Young and old among them
Feel the ocean breeze

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala
Oh, take me home, oh, country road

I heard a voice
In the morning calm, she calls me
As though to remind me of my Home far away

Driving down the road
I feel the Spirit coming to me
From yesterday, yesterday

All my memories hold Heaven on high
Brown-skinned woman, clear blue island sky
Daytime sunshine, oo-ooh so bright
Midnight moon a-glowing, stars up in the sky

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala
Take me home, take me home, country road

I hear a voice, in the morning calm, she's calling
As though to remind me of my Home far away
We driving down the road, I feel the Spirits coming to me
Of yesterday, yesterday

Almost Heaven, West Makaha
High ridge mountain, crystal clear blue waters
All my friends there sitting on the beach
Young and old among them
Eating fish straight from the sea

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong
West Makaha, oh, Mount Ka'ala
Take me home, oh country road

Country road, take me home
Oh to the place I belong
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala
Take me home, oh country road

Country road, oh take me home
Yes to the place, to the place, I belong
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala
Take me home country road

Country road, take me home
To the place I was born
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala
Take me home, country road...

Huuhuu. Huuu-tah
Good fo' be back
White san', clean watah
Ho boy, the mountain...feel the makani...
Whew, what a place
