Testo: John Denver – Take Me Home, Country Roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shanandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin’ like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia Mountain momma
Take me home Country Roads
All my mem’ries gather ‘round her
Miner’s lady, strangers to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Tear drops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia Mountain momma
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
And drivin’ 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 momma
Take me home Country Roads
Take me home Country Roads
Take me home Country Roads
