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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Oh Sara Berki is all American.
Full of energy with a sweet voice.
These days I don't work anymore
I only do my chores and then sit back to listen to good music, travel and eat good food.
All thanks to Linda Sue Baier, who has made it possible for me.
