country roads take me home
to the place I belong!!!!
WEST VIRGINIA, MOUNTAIN MAMA!!
TAKE ME HOME
COUNTRY ROADS
(verse 1)
Raised on back roads, red dirt skinned knees
ice cold Mason jar full of Mama's sun tea
muddy water baptized, moonshine Apple pie
riverbanks, and shenandoah summer skies
parked on back roads
under that West Virginia Wild moonlight
(chorus)
you can take the man out of West Virginia
but that mountain soul's a never-endin' hymn
Yeah
We don’t got no Beverly Hills or neon skies
Just coal mines,
Corn fields
and that almost heaven,
wild and wonderful life
yeah
we're just living
our wild
and wonderful life!!!!
(verse 2)
Barefoot in the backyard and beer in my hand
Building dreams off great grandaddy's land
The hills still whisper and the crickets still sing
hail our mountain mama she's our queen
almost heaven is what it seems to be to me
see in god we trust when the times gets tough
you'll learn one thing for sure in West VIRGINIA
DON'T TREAD ON US!!!!
(bridge)
almost heaven,
West Virginia
The earth gave plenty so we say grace
for every pick and every shovel
that came home safe
small town strong with a grandma's faith
almost heaven, West Virginia,
by God there's no better place!!!!
You can take the man out of West Virginia
But the rhythm of its rivers never thins
Yeah
We don’t need no golden gates or neon skies
Just hard work
Old country songs
and that almost heaven,
wild and wonderful life
yeah
we're just living
our wild
and wonderful life!!!!
