    Lyrics:
    Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
    Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
    All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue waters
    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 mamma, take me home, country roads
    I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away
    And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
    Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
    Take me home, down country roads
    Take me home, down country roads

    I am an old dude; I actually knew John in the late 70s; I was living in Aspen...of course he really was just as sweet a guy as you would imagine he was; He used to do free concerts in the park for the local kids; he built a new High School for them, and would not allow the town to name it after him...he was just the coolest

      I went to Calgary Stampede last summer, and of course this was one of the tunes they played there, and I've had it stuck in my head ever since. Another demonstration of how good lyrics, simple chords, and simple melodies can all come together to make a great song.

    I grew up playing this song and singing it while living in Maryland. Now West Virginia is my home and this song is the mantra , the soul and the spirit of this great state! The tagline take me home country roads is on everything, license plates, tee shirts , tourism advertising, etc.
    John Denver made us proud with this great song and Emily did it justice! Thanks so much for taking me home once again!

    I remember John Denver like it was yesterday. When my kids were young and we were going on long drives, we would all burst into song, our favourite was ‘Grandma’s feather bed’. Other nearby drivers must have thought us a cookie lot, singing at the tops of our voices. Loved those years.
