Country roads, take me home...

Living in cities all my life, I am not a big fan of country music, or should I say, I am not used to country music. First time I heard this song was in a company Koraoke, some co-worker in his 50s was singing this song. It was a good song. For people who dont listen to country music, you must have heard the chorus. This song is actually almost 40 years old, the singer and writer, John Denver, a country music legend died a while ago. But, boy these words is very suiting right now. In less than 20 hours, I will be on country roads... home...

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
Miners 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 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 I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

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