I've been gone so longAway from my homeMost outsiders with a gumption to roamI used to live high beneath the mountain skyIf you asked me how I left, I couldn't tell you whyQ Country RoadsCome on and take me homeQ Country RoadsCome on and take me homeCome on and take me homeI miss the lightning in the bottle from the copper stillsHiding in the hollow way up in them hillsQ Country RoadsI miss the water from the riverThe sound of a fiddle in the banjo ringWhen across the state line I can help but singQ Country RoadsCome on and take me homeQ Country RoadsCome on and take me homeQ Country RoadsQ Country RoadsQ Country RoadsQ Country RoadsI welcome the day when I'm a mountain mamaI'm playing with the rhododendron on my stoneQ Country RoadsCome on and take me homeQ Country RoadsCome on and take me homeQ Country RoadsCome on and take me homeQ Country RoadsQ Country Roads
