State SongAlmost heaven, West VirginiaBlue Ridge MountainsShenandoah River -Life is old thereOlder than the treesYounger than the mountainsGrowin’ like a breeze

Country Roads, take me homeTo the place I belongWest Virginia, mountain mommaTake me home, country roads

All my memories gathered ‘round herMiner’s lady, stranger to blue waterDark and dusty, painted on the skyMisty taste of moonshineTeardrops in my eye
