This Is Home

(Sung to the melody of Country Road) Home, what a magical place Almost heaven, West Virginia Home what a wonderful, happy place Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River With people that love me, people me that love me Life is old there, older than the trees Driving 15 minutes just to get me, to school everyday Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze Another 30, to get to work Country roads, take me home 30 after to pick me up To the place I belong O’ payin’ extra, let me go to West Virginia, mountain mama After School, is okay Take me home, country roads Home, what a magical place All my memories gather 'round her Home what a wonderful, happy place Miner's lady, stranger to blue water With people that love me, people me that love me Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Driving 15 minutes just to get me, to school everyday Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye Another 30, to get to work Country roads, take me home 30 after to pick me up To the place I belong O’ payin’ extra, let me go to West Virginia, mountain mama After School, This is Home Take me home, country roads
