Almost heaven, West Virginia

It is simply heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, Older than the trees

Ancient life, Older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, Growing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Take me back to my roots

West Virginia, Mountain Mama< /p>

West Virginia, Mountain Mama

Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home

All my memories gather round her

Surrounding her are all my memories

Miner's Lady stranger to blue water

Miner's wife, a person who has never seen the sea

Dark and dusty painted on the sky

Smoke and dust, covering the sky

Misty taste of moonshine,Tear drops in my eyes

The moonlight is dim and my eyes are filled with tears

Country roads, take me home

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Country road, take me home

I hear her voice in the morning hours, She calls me

She calls me in the morning

The radio reminds me of my home far away

Radio reminds me of my home far away

And driving down the road

Driving down the road

I'll get a feeling, That I should have been home, Yesterday, yesterday

I'll get a feeling, That I should have been home, Yesterday, yesterday.

To the place I belong

Take me back to my roots< /p>

Country road, take me home. What a deep nostalgia! Yes, heavenly West Virginia, where there are high mountains and clear rivers; where life is always there, the trees are towering, the mountains are evergreen, and everything grows slowly, like a gentle breeze, blowing the thick Nostalgia. Yes, how can one not feel nostalgic for this heavenly hometown?

Take me home on the country road. Birds miss the old forest and people miss their hometown. This is a nostalgia that is difficult to erase in history. A wanderer longs to return home, not only to West Virginia, but more importantly to his mother in the mountains. On the way home, the car was running fast, and all the memories revolved around his biological mother. The mother in the mountains is a miner's wife. She has never walked out of the mountains and has never seen the sea. Her skin is dark and dusty, and her clear memories and vague impressions seem to be hidden. This is the mother in the mountains who raised me.

Thinking of the simple mother in the mountains, how can one not shed tears?

This rural road is extraordinary, it connects the mountain village with the outside world. It sends the wanderer out of the mountains and brings the wanderer back home. The outside world is very wonderful, but how can it make a wanderer nostalgic? No wonder several foreign friends suddenly thought about it when they heard this song. No wonder so many people love it deeply.
