Almost heaven, West Jamaica True ridge mountains Shining Minko River All my friends there Older than those ridge Younger than the mountains Blowin' like a breeze
Country roads take me home To the place I belong West Jamaica, my ol' momma Take me home country roads
I heard her voice In the mornin' hour she calls me Said son you remind me of my home far away And drivin' down the road I feel a sickness, I sure did Oh yesterday, yesterday
All my memories, oh, gathered 'round her My old lady stranger to blue water Dark and dusty painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine Tears gone from my eyes
Country roads take me home To the place I belong West Jamaica, my my momma Won't you take me go home country roads
