Out on the dust dirt road with the beat going down
I got my boots on tight and I have my hat pulled down
Got a guitar in the back and got a tune in my soul
Yeah, heading down like that country mile to my place I know

Country roads take me home, yeah
To my place where tall grass grows
Where the air is clean and the stars shine bright
That's where I belong under this country sky

Rowing in the hills and the green fields
And a cow mooing in the sunset
Picking up all the trucks and front porches
This is the land that I before riches

Country roads take me home
To a place where tall grass, where all air is clean
And damn the stars shine
That's where I belong under the stars

In the quiet of the evening the crickets start to sing
The fire dance like fireflies in the spring
Simple for life
But it suits me fine in the country I spend my time

Country roads take me home
To the place where tall grass grows
Where the air is clean and the stars shine bright
That's where I belong in the country, yeah

So let's raise a glass to this country life
With a sample of joys
