Take Me Home, Country Roads Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like the breeze

[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

[Verse 2]
All my memories, gathered 'round her
Miners' Lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye

[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

[Verse 3]
I hear her voice, in the morning light she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feeling
Like I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
