Country Roads

Nena (DEU)


Almost heaven, West-Virginia 
Blue Ridge mountain, Shanandoah River 
Life is old there, older than the trees 
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze 

Country Roads take me home 
To the place where I belong 
West-Virginia, mountain mama 
Take me home, country roads 

All my mem'ries gather round her 
Modest lady, stranger to blue water 
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky 
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye 

I hear her voice in the morninghour she calls me 
The radio reminds me of my home far away 
And driving down the road I get the feeling 
That I should be home yesterday, yesterday
