Did John Denver put it in her head Was it something that he said I’d move mountains for this girl She want mountain tops instead God I need some more time Could you kick it down a turnpike Wear them tires down until they don’t turn right Don’t take her home Down those country roads She’s my mountain mama Wild as she wanna She’s everything I want and more So don’t take her home She’s my rhododendron And I’m growing closer to her by the minute I love her spirit the same when im with ya But she can’t love me like she loves West Virginia She’d trade these lights, for stars in the sky She would trade this wine, for jars of moonshine She would go to the pines, and run like a child And leave any thought of my loving behind but Before that door shuts And she heads for the Big Sandy River God could you give her just one good reason to stay Don’t take her home Down those country roads She’s my mountain mama Wild as she wanna She’s everything I want and more So don’t take her home There’s beauty inside of these hills ya know Does something for the soul And Lord I feel it right now Cause i'm closer to heaven than I am to the ground And she’s my mountain momma Cant hold her back when the mountains are calling West Virginia leaves sure look good in the Autumn Guess I can’t blame her for leaving me oh but Before that door shuts And she heads for the Big Sandy River God could you give her just one good reason to stay Don’t take her home Down those country roads She’s my mountain mama Wild as she wanna She’s everything I want and more So don’t take her home Don’t take her home Down those country roads She’s my mountain mama Wild as she wanna She’s everything I want and more So don’t take her home
