A grave will decay you and turn you to dust

Than the crossties on the railroad or stars in the sky

COUNTRY ROADS

Growin' like a breeze.

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine,

Teardrop in my eye.

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

[Bridge]
Em D G
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
C G D
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
Em F C
And driving down the road I get a feeling
 G D D7
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

[Chorus]
Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
Take me home, down country roads; take me home, down country roads

O they tell me of a King in His beauty there,
And they tell me that mine eyes shall be-hold
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow,
In the city that is made of gold.

O they tell me that He smiles on His children there,
And His smile drives their sorrows all a-way;
And they tell me that no tears ever come a-gain
In that lovely land of un - clouded day.
