Dinah Loves Mt. Rainier Almost Heaven Western Washington, snow capped mountains cool Columbia waters.

Life is old here- older than trees younger than the Olympics- growing in the breeze.

Country roads take me home to the place I belong- Western Washington you amaze me take me home country roads.

All my memories gather round Rainier. Majestic giant great land of our fathers

Country Roads take me home to the place I belong Western Washington, home of Sealth take me home country roads.

I hear the voice
In the morning hour it calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home- I'm here to stay
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been here yesterday, yesterday

Country roads I am home. I found the place I belong Mt. Rainier, columbia river here forever... I am home -country roads

Nestor and Katrina-Mt. Rainier is so beautiful. I picked out my home based on being able to see it. I grew up with it out my window every morning and it is a habit I can't seem to break-Dinah Lee
