    Lyrics:
    Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
    Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
    West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.
    All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
    West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.

    25 March 2024 my life changed forever when my father passed away. The pain of his loss is more than I can bear at times. He loved this song and we played it at his funeral. To anyone who has lost a loved one... enjoy this beautiful song and may it ease your pain if only for a short moment.
    (Just a quick edit: I had no idea so many people still listen to this song.. thank you to everyone for the kind words. My best wishes to all of you)

    I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
    That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
    Country roads, take me home

      あいこ前田 No. West Virginia is very hillbilly. It was settled by immigrants primarily from what is now Northern Ireland in the early 1800’s. During the late 1800’s it was exploited for its coal resources (which did not benefit the people who lived there). Today it is one of the poorest states in America. It does have some beautiful natural scenery but many of the people there are very xenophobic and skeptical of outsiders. The ex-French part of America is Louisiana which still has a “Cajun” culture (although the French language is dying in Louisiana, the culture is still very distinct there).

    [Lyrics]
    Almost heaven, West Virginia
    Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
    Life is old there, older than the trees
    Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    All my memories gather 'round her
    Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
    Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
    That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    Take me home, (down) country roads
    Take me home, (down) country roads

      Himmel Jungfer the sentiment within the song, longing for the place that you call Home can resonate with anyone. Everyone has somewhere where they call Home, where they’re safe and accepted. Anyone in the world can relate to what John Denver is singing about here, no matter where they are in the world. I’m happy that people all over the world can share this feeling the way we do.
