[Verse 1: Charles Wesley Godwin]
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
[Chorus: Charles Wesley Godwin, Zach Bryan]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 2: Charles Wesley Godwin]
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on her skies
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes
[Chorus: All, Zach Bryan]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Oh, take me home, country roads
How we doin', Red Rocks?
[Bridge: Charles Wesley Godwin]
The mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I shoulda been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus: Zach Bryan, Charles Wesley Godwin]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Oh, take me home
Come on, Red Rock
Take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Girl, take me home down country roads
Girl, take me home down country roads
[Outro: Charles Wesley Godwin, Zach Bryan]
Ladies and gentleman, this is Jonathan Peyton and Abigail Peyton
These boys up here with me are The Allegheny High
My name is Charles Wesley Godwin and Zach Bryan is comin' up right now
How we doin' out at Red Rocks this evenin'?
I'd say it wasn't cold enough, but I'd be lyin'
Thank you guys for bearin' with us this evenin'
This is a song I wrote called "Open the Gate," hope you guys don't hate it
