Take Me Home, Country Roads

How can I be the first person to read this and comment on it? John Denver wrote and sang some of the best music ever recorded, and this song is one of his greatest achievements. A great song to listen to at night on the way home from driving across the country. It almost puts tears in my eyes with the beauty end eloquence of its words and the love with which it is sung. I may be crazy, but I love it.

i use to think john denver suck when i was younger. i heard a punk cover of this song and i though it was bad ass. now i'm older and more mature. this song truly kick ass and so does john denver.

Man, I hate the idea that thousands of drunk college kids scream this song as some sort of lame ritual. I think it's a song that has a lot of feeling behind it. It's a beautiful song.

A lot of people tend to think of John Denver as being dorky and cliche, but I love him; he was an amazing songwriter.

At my summer camp we sing this, and on the chorus we all jump up and down and sing. i think it is an awesome song. it has such beautiful imagry too

Beautifull song. i always dream away in my thoughts when i lissen to this song. btw for the people who can't get enough of it check out the cover of christiaan mauer. he's a street artist in my country (the netherlands) and one day a random person filmd him playing country roads. and the video went viral in my country. if you love this song you should really check it out. you wont regret it. even in my opinion he plays/sings it better. ofcourse a cover can never be as good as a originel in my opinion. because wrighting it is way harder then make a perfect cover. but the voice on that man make's te song even more beautifull

This is a song I used to sing with my family at family gatherings with our guitars around enormous summer bonfires. Brings back good memories.

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

Love this song. Bought the album. Then in '77 I had the opportunity to work in WV. Loved it there. I have lots of memories and lots of life under the bridge.

yea me too, i love this song as well, it makes me wanna travel to all these glorious places and just die there

i'd never heard this song until i moved to west virginia. but i learned to love it.

and when john denver wrote it, i'm sure he never imagined that at every bar in morgantown wv, at the stroke of midnight, thousands of drunk college kids would be screaming the lyrics at the of of their lungs.

gotta love wvu.
