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 - Hudba
I worked for John Denver for many years and also became long time friends with his lead guitarist. Sadly they're both gone but the great memories remain. Thanks for this great rendition of his classic song.
My cousin in the south of Austria loves this song the most. I always had to sing it when I was there and she sent me videos when she sings it with her friends. Great song.
@@chrp3229Where is this stadium?
Der Typ ist völlig uninterssant bei diesem Lied. DU guckst auf falsche Zeichen...
Brisbane Australia.
I miss John Denver and his great band too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This next generation helps to keep his memory alive. 😊
Damn, She's got soul in that voice.. Well done!
That’s my niece ❤
beautiful too
I went and married a West Virginian some 25 years ago. My wife and I have traveled pretty extensively through Europe and made many new friends in pubs. Whenever anyone in any country hears she is from West Virginia - they immediately start singing this song. We've heard it in probably 7 different languages too! It is amazing to us that such a humble song about a humble place could be so embraced worldwide. You've done a beautiful job capturing it and presenting it as your own. Well done, Ms. Sara!
I work at the pub in Rome , when some says, he’s forme West Virginia I always answer “country roads” and put this song 🎶
GREATINGS FROME ROMA !!!
Canon la chanteuse 😊 And great sont, sure
I come from Reunion island and I play this song with my kids on my guitar
I think, everyone in the world knows your song :D
Not many people are not that well-read/around educated to know the reason why there is a Virginia- and a West Virginia though.🤔A simple answer is the U.S. civil war. Greetings from Stockholm, Kingdom of Swden!
@@17461771 Yes, the counties that became West Virginia could not form a new State without the consent of the existing State. They wanted to form a new State even before the war, but couldn't. So it took the secession of Virginia from the United States to pave the way for those counties to form the new State.
A gift to the world...John Denver. RIP
The guy with the violin knows the groove 😊
One cool cat!
💯💯
Drummer or a bassist in a past life for sure.
That's the rhythm of the steam locomotive #611 coming down the line
He’s a sensational musician!
She can sing and is one beautiful woman. God blessed her in every way .
Beautiful voice! I taught this song to my son when he was 3, and we would sing it together. When he married, he chose it as our mother/ son dance song. Good memories!
Ahhh, what a sweet visual. You're blessed. Thanks gut sharing.
This is probably the best, most beautiful live performance I have seen of this song. Well Done! Bravo!
so slow..
Yep, a wonderful job on the tune. Cheers.
This is a long story, I'll shorten it, so please no comments on grammar. 30+ yrs ago somewhere in east Thailand. 16 guys from 10 different countries. Every evening same bar hangout. Come closing time the waitress would put country roads in the tapedeck, turn volume to max, and we would sing our adopted national anthem top of our lungs. End of our time there, we said we'd meet same bar 350 days later. Internet and email did not exist of course. So 350 days later I went alone into same bar at 1400 hrs. Same girl there said nothing at first but played country roads. Thought it was coincidence. I told her I was there the year before. "Yeah, I know. You're the coca cola on the rocks guy. This your national song. Your friends coming too?" By 1800 hrs 15 guys made it.
Thats awesome man. Memories for life
Sometimes the bonds of friendship is stronger than the bonds of blood. I wish you all the best my man. I too love this song and I live in South Africa
To forget during three minutes earth wars !
Great story
O
While working in Dutch Harbor AK in 2009. I was singing "Take me Home" Karaoke at the local bar: UniSea Bar. Thru the first verse, I heard a voice that said:
"Sir, I am from West Virginia, can I sing this song with you?"
There he was, this young Coast Guard recruit docked in Dutch Harbor, AK.
I replied:
Get a Mic...…
and, so He did....
That made my day...
I loved John Denver growing up. He is one of the reasons I started to play guitar, and to write songs in my youth. He has been a big mentor in my music career.
Being so far away from home. This song brought me home every time.
Still now, when I sing this song in any bar, the whole bar sing in one voice.
Is like,
we all want to go home...…
Sara did a great rendition of this song...…Love her voice, and the way she placed the song...…excellent!
I think John would approved.
That's a nice story.
John Denver's memory will live forever as long as people play and sing his music.
Her cute smile after the first sentence like a weight off her shoulders, doing what she loves, how refreshing
Hands down the best cover version I've ever heard.
Is this a set up...seriously she can't sing....wow
@@jonnywas2665 Emily Linge sings this better.Look her up.
@@jonnywas2665🤦♂️🤦♂️
@bethanymaus4978 thank you! ❤️ I really appreciate it
Absolutely beautiful version of an American Classic.
Not as good as Merlin, R.I.P🥃🕊
From the country roads of West Virginia! Nothing like it!,❤❤❤☝️👍
Born and raised in West By God's Grace Virginia. Proud mountaineer. Mountaineers are always free. Love your voice. Beautiful song choice.
So you should know that none of the places mentioned in the song are in West Virginia, but actually in Virginia, western part.
Go away troll!@@luncho12491
@@luncho12491 You are wrong. Those places are indeed in WV.
@@luncho12491 a simple Google search and looking at a map will debunk your statement. Please do your research. The Blue Ridge mountains run through 8 states, including West Virginia. The Shenandoah River also flows through West Virginia.
@@edwardknight8577 Nope
Great version of a great country song. Thanks Sara
Beautiful voice, thankyou.
Need to be on spotify! Beautiful cover and voice. Mr Denver would be proud to hear it, RIP big man and greetz from germany❤
she is on spotify..and my niece
Wow, wow, wow. Every bit as great as the original --- but something new! Love it.
I don't usually like covers of this song....but this one is good. Unique voice and not a crazy version. Good stuff. Hello from East Virginia.
Wow! Thank you so much for this comment 😊 Hello to you from across the pond! Here in Aus
@@saraberkimusic Thanks for the response. Been coming back to this video to watch it. Great cover. West Virginia is beautiful (went rafting there last year) but I'm biased to East Virginia where I live. Ha! Maybe you'll play here sometime soon!?
From Chicago USA 🇺🇸. Thanks!!!😊
I love the uniqueness of her voice. She did a very nice job on an American classic song.
This song conveys a feeling of being at home. greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Beautiiful, just perfect! What a voice!
By far one of the best coverd Songs i have ever heard....unbelievable
The complete package.Great song, lovely voice, beautiful lady.
Wow!! I need to hear more!! Greetings from Dublin ❤
She looks like an angel
Finally! It’s great to hear this in the Appalachian Style it always should have been played! Thank You!
First time I've heard Sara sing ....... new subscriber !!
1 million views on youtube 🎉🎉 well deserved Sara
Glad this showed up just now, never heard of her until now ! Greetings from UK
Great Song, great team job, nice violin accompaniment, an I'm not a violin enthusiast BUT I always give credit when its due 😊😊😊
😂❤❤🎉😢😮😅
You made our song your own, beautiful voice.
No matter how far you are,
John Denver will walk you home.
Best female cover, thanks from Madrid.
What a talent, amazing voice, beautiful, and an amazing voice. God Bless and keep singing
Stunning performance. A classy act. John Denver would approve.
Listen to a lot of music in CZcams, and always come back to this video. Bring music to the world. Greetings from Norway
Köszönöm az élményt! Sok sikert kívánok Neked, Nektek 🤗🥾🥾🇭🇺🦬🌄🦬 🦅🌄🦅
1000000 views in 3 weeks. Very well deserved! Everything is beautiful in this video, the arena, the evening, the violin, the guitars, the vocals, and the artist.
Even people who “don’t like country” love this song. She did a great job and the fiddle player is great
Lucky enough to be at the Gabba when Sara sang this song so magnificently. What a beautiful voice she has. Fingers crossed she comes back again during the year. 🥰🦁
Hey Ian! Thank you for commenting, glad you were there to catch it at the game ☺️
As a John Denver fan, I’ll say this beautiful woman did an excellent job on this JD Classic. 👍
Excellent rendition of this legendary song of beautiful West Virginia! This video has quickly become Sara's most viewed video, by far!
The song isn’t about West Virginia, it’s about western part of Virginia. Just look up where the Shenandoah River is, or the blue ridge mountains, all in Virginia.
Dude you must be from Virginia,, it’s all beautiful whether West Virginia, or the western part of Virginia, it was all one state until partition into two, the beautiful country roads flow into both, Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah River, and of course the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains. I don’t think the song would sound right singing “western part of Virginia” instead of the world famous “West Virginia” @@luncho12491
Just brilliant ❤
Wow thid is the best.
From the Heart thank you Sara😊
Great job Sara! Loved it!
What a beautiful rendition of a classic song. I love that Sara kept it true to the original but added a few vocal inflections to make it her own (along with simple orchestration... which is a compliment).
You would have gotten a standing ovation at any ball game in the United States with this one Sara Berki. 😊.
That was beautiful! Just saw it on instagram and came here to search the full video
Beautiful voice. You have that little unique shake in your voice . Go girl .
Amasing song! and obsiously a huge talent from Sara
One of my all time favs.🇺🇸🌹
Brilliant........And she's a Queenslander !!!
Absa-bloody-lutely! ☺️☺️☺️ Queensland all the way!
Beautiful song. Great singing. Come to Germany, sing the song at the next NFL game and the whole stadium will sing along. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I saw that game!
Makes me home sick, my childhood was beautiful. In one of those country roads... very nicely done...
Wow yeah ❤
來自台灣的我，覺得這首歌她詮釋的非常棒， 現在身為退伍軍人， 回想過去長年不在家鄉， 聽著這首歌總是能勾起很多回憶
Bravo ..super !❤
Sounds Great.

Reminds of growing up!! My dad would play his guitar and sing this song and I would sing it with him. Sang it a few years ago with him father my parents 50th wedding anniversary!! Such a great cover!! You have got a beautiful voice. ❤️
Absolutely beautiful, voice of an angel!!
Beautiful lady, beautiful voice, beautiful cover.

soul in your voice, thank you. Hello from south of France
You almost stole my heart. Most excellent performance. Thank You!
Wow this is amazing! 🙏🥹🥰
Wow what a beautiful vibrato. This Aussie girl deserves to be a big star in NASHVILLE. She doesn’t sound like anyone else, which is a huge plus. Come on Keith Urban, take this girl under your wing, pull some strings and open that door for her!!!
I really appreciate this comment. Makes me feel like I’m doing a good thing ❤️ thanks heaps for the support
@@saraberkimusic
If you sing that song in an American stadium you would have 60,000+ singing the chorus. I would definitely buy a ticket to listen to you sing for a couple hours. Good luck to you!❤
Brilliant. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow! love it!
What an amasing version of this song Sara.🥰
Best cover of this masterpiece I've ever heard 🙏 Love from Sweden ❤️

Man, what a beautiful voice ! God bless your soul.
