Take Me Home, Country Roads Lyrics

Almost heaven West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze
Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama take me home country roads

All my mem'ries gather round her miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye
Country roads take me home...

I hear his voice in the mornin' as he calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been
Home yesterday yesterday
Country roads take me home...
Country roads take me home...

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 [?]
