Leavin' On A Jet Plane; Take Me Home Country Roads

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.
