Take me home, country roads.

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me,

I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

All my memories, oh, gather 'round her

My old lady, stranger to blue water.

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,

Misty taste of moonshine, a teardrop in my eye.
