Album Poems, Prayers & Promises. Take Me Home, Country Roads Lyrics. 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 roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma 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 Driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma Take me home, country roads. Take me home, (down) country roads Take me home, (down) country roads.

Sunshine on my shoulders made me pretty darn happy, too. And country roads also took me home, albeit to mountains in California, rather than West Virginia.
