Lyrics
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.
All my memories gather 'round her,
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine, tear-drop in my eye.
I hear her voice, in the morning hours she calls me,
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And driving down the road I get the feeling
that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.Demo Videos

About This Song
Take Me Home, Country Roads was written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver, and became a massive hit for Denver in 1971. While it's a country-pop song at heart, it's been embraced by bluegrass musicians for its simple chord progression and singalong appeal, with artists like The Del McCoury Band and Dailey & Vincent recording notable versions.
