Almost heaven, west Virginia Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River

All my memories gathered round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains Growing like a breeze

Dark and dusty painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine Teardrops in my eye

*Country road, take me home To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mamma Take me home, country road

* * 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 have been home yesterday～yesterday
