Almost heaven, west Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country road

All my memories gathered round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye

I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday
