my bags are packed and i'm ready to go
i'm standing here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye
'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
almost heaven
west virginia
blue ridge mountains
shenendoah river
life is old there
older than the trees
younger than the mountains
growing like a breeze
country roads
take me home to the place i belong
west virginia
mountain mama
take me home
country roads
all my memories gather 'round her
miner's lady
a stranger to blue water
dark and dusty
painted on the sky
misty taste of moonshine
teardrop in my eye
country roads
take me home to the place i belong
west virginia
mountain mama
take me home
country roads
i hear her voice
in the morning hour she calls me
the radio reminds me of my home far away
and drivin' down the road
i get the feelin'
that i should have been home yesterday
yesterday
so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh babe
i hate to go
country roads
take me home to the place i belong
west virginia
mountain mama
take me home
country roads
country roads
take me home to the place i belong
west virginia
mountain mama
take me home
country roads
country roads
country roads
