听歌学英语:乡村音乐的典范Country Roads(故乡的路)

Song: Country Roads

Artist: John Denver

Style: Country
 
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge¹ Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.

All my mem'ries gather 'round her,
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty² taste of moonshine, tear-drop in my eye.

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.

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 the feeling
that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.
Take me home, country road.
Take me home, country road.
