Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River,
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.
As soon as you start talking West Virginia week, it’s almost like former Texas Tech student John Denver’s 1971 hit and one of the four official state anthems of West Virginia, finds its way into your head and you cannot get it out.
