Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenangoah 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

Misty taste the moonshine, teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia, Mountain mama
Take me home, Country Roads

And driving down the road I get a feeling that
……
What can you feel from the song
I can feel the beauty of nature.
