英文歌词：
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees:
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
All my memories gather round her,
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice in the morning hours,
She calls me.
The radio reminds me of my home Far away,
And driving down the road,
I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
Take me home，country roads.
Take me home, country roads.
歌词大意1：
佛吉尼亚，简直就象天堂一样——在那里可以看到蓝岭山脉及雪兰多河。那里的生活源远流长，比大树悠久，比高山年少，如微风渐进。乡村路，请带我回到属于我的家——佛吉尼亚，乡村路，请带我回家。
我一直想着我妈妈，她是个矿工的太太从来没有见过大海。矿场上的灰尘总是将天空染成黑色。在回忆中，我仿佛品尝到了以前常喝的家里自制的酒。想到这些，不禁潸然泪下。
我听到她在早晨呼唤我。收音机的声音使我想起远方的家乡。就在我开车回家的路上，我有一种早就该回家的感觉
译2：
就像是天堂，佛吉尼亚州
有蓝岭山脉和雪兰多河
在那儿生命是古老的，比森林更古老
但比山脉年轻
像风一样自在的成长
乡村小路，带我回家
回到我属於的地方
就是佛吉尼亚州——大山母亲的怀中
带我回家，乡村小路
我所有的回忆都围绕着她———
矿工的太太、从未见过大海、
终日所见除了矿场尘土飞扬而黯淡的天空
就是朦胧的月光
泪水模糊了我的双眼
清晨时分，我听到她呼唤我的声音
广播节目提醒我家还很远
在开车的路上，我有一种感觉
我早该回到家的怀抱
