Almost Heaven

I could get used to weather like this.

True, it ain't the beach- but there's something totally refreshing about a summertime mountain breeze.
Last week(like much of the rest of the East Coast) we were experiencing 110 humidic temps, when it cooled down to the 90's later in the week we all thought it the most glorious thing in the world.
This week's average has been mid 80's-and on Sat-Sun its gonna chill down to mid 70's.
And in the mountains- it's typically 20 degrees colder then that.
Time to break out that parka.
All together now-
(let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..)

Almost Heavennn
West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Aren't in West Virginia
Life is older then
West Virginian cows
Younger then those mountains
Which aren't there anyhow.

Almost Heaven
My town, Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenendoah River
If that song's true, then it seems to me
The rivers up in Heaven are filled with mercury.

Country Roads
Country Ham
Pass the grits
Thank you maam'
Country Cookin'
Hey good lookin'
Take me home, country roads..
