You can take me home to the place I belong

Where the birds sing sweet and wild,

And a man can make a living out of the earth.

Take me home, country roads.

You can take me home to the place I belong

Where the air is so pure and clean, it hurts your eyes;

But in this world where everything is full of lies,

The only thing that makes sense is trying to find your way back home.
