Almost Heaven West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowing in the breeze

Country road take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama
Take me home country roads

All my memories gather ’round her
Miner’s lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Miss the taste of moonshine teardrops in my eye

I hear her voice in the mornin’ hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road I get the feelin’
That I should’ve been home yesterday yesterday
