Lyrics
Description
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.
Driving through the hills where the sunset glows, Every winding road leads me back to home.
Through the whispers of the pines I hear her call, A melody so sweet I can't forget at all.
Country roads, take me home To the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mama, Take me home, country roads.
By the creek where laughter danced on air, Childhood days chasing fireflies without a care.
The old diner light flickers down the lane, Familiar faces smile through joy and pain.
Neon signs at county fair lights glow, But city streets can't hold the warmth I know.
Every mile away my heart beats slow, Calling me back where the wild rivers flow.
Country roads, take me home To the place my heart has grown.
West Virginia, mountain mama, Lead me back, country roads.
Oh, the road winds on through the night, Underneath the moon's silver light.
Every mile closer I feel the fire Of a love that lifts me higher and higher.
A bittersweet goodbye in the city haze, Dreams were chased but lost in the maze.
Now I'm turning back with open arms To the quiet hills and familiar charms.
Stars above like old friends got my way, Whispers of home in the cool night sway.
No matter where I roam or stray, Country roads will bring me back someday.
Country roads, take me home To the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mama, Take me home, country roads.
Instrumental
Misty taste of moonshine, Teardrop in my eye,
Painted on the sky where my heart will lie.
Stranger to blue water, But never to this song.
Country roads, please take me home.
Country roads, take me home To the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mama, Take me home, country roads.
Take me home, country roads.
To the place where I belong.
West Virginia, mountain mama, Take me home, country roads.
