Bright lights in a city that doesn't know my name
And I'm singing for my supper, living life from day to day
Oh, it don't feel so pretty when you gamble with your luck
I've been moving so fast but I've never felt so stuck
Take me back, take me home
Where the mountains kiss the coast
And the Northern Lights, they glow
'Round the streets I used to roam
Country road, country road
Till the last breath in my bones
I know all roads lead me home to Caledonia
I know all roads lead me home to Caledonia
Praying for a saviour 'cause I feel like giving up
Sayin' thank you to a stranger for the coin that's in my cup
And maybe I'll return someday, over hills and far away
There's only one place that I'm thinking of
Take me back, take me home
Where the mountains kiss the coast
And the Northern Lights, they glow
'Round the streets I used to roam
Country road, country road
Till the last breath in my bones
I know all roads lead me home to Caledonia
I know all roads lead me home to Caledonia
I miss my father's words of wisdom and my mother's tender touch
And the sweet taste of the water from the country that I love
Take me back, take me home
Where the mountains kiss the coast
And the Northern Lights, they glow
'Round the streets I used to roam
Country road, country road
Till the last breath in my bones
I know all roads lead me home to Caledonia
I know all roads lead me home to Caledonia
