Almost heaven, Ol' Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah Valley
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growing like a weed

All my mem'ries gather round her
Miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eye

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
Ol' Virginia, mountain Mama
Take me home country roads

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The 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

Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
Ol' Virginia, mountain Mama
Take me home country roads
