Leavin' On A Jetplane

My bags are packed and I'm ready to go

I'm standing here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Almost heaven West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains Shenendoah River

Life is old there older than the trees

Younger than the mountains growing like a breeze

Country roads take me home to the place I belong

West Virginia Mountain Mama

Take me home country roads

All my memories gather 'round her

Miner's lady a stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye

Country roads take me home to the place I belong

West Virginia Mountain Mama

Take me home country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away

And drivin' down the road I get the feelin'

That I should have been home yesterday yesterday

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go

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

Country roads

Country roads
