Lyrics of
Take me home, country roads

Country Roads was written by John Denver, Bill Danoff, and Taffy Nivert, and was partially inspired by a back road in Maryland. Denver described how he felt peaceful and content in the countryside, which inspired the songs lyrics.

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.
!--Verse 2--
All my memories 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.
!--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.
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been home
yesterday, yesterday.
!--Chorus--
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
!--Chorus--
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
!--Outro--
Take me home, (down) country roads.
Take me home, (down) country roads.
