Take Me Home, Country Roads (Original Trailer Soundtrack) 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 a breeze

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

[Verse 2]
All my memories, gather 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 I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads

[Bridge]
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home (Take me home), country roads (Country roads)

[Outro]
Oh, take me home (Take me home), country roads (Country roads)
Oh, take me home (Take me home), country roads (Country roads)
Take me home (Take me home), country roads (Country roads)
Oh, 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 [?]

Genius Annotation

A doo-wop twist on the classic country song by John Denver, a snippet of this version was played during the Fallout 76 Reveal Trailer and the full song fittingly released on Independence Day (July 4th 2018).

After the trailer released the song was very well received by the audience who quickly sought to try and find out who the cover was by, finding a YouTube video by Greg Priester who later confirmed it wasn’t him.

Upon release of the full song, Peter Hines, a marketing and communications employee at Bethesda revealed the song was by a little known DooWop group called Spank from NYC.

Bethesda also revealed that all proceeds from the song will go to Habitat For Humanity.
