Longing To Get Back Home..


Longing ~ Shaun Peck


Almost heaven,
West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains,
Shenandoah 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 memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye

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

I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

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

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