Take Me Home Country Roads -- John Denver

Almost heaven West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees younger than the mountains blowin' like a breeze
Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama take me home country roads

All my mem'ries gather round her miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eyes
Country roads take me home...

I hear her voice in the mornin' as she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away  Drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been
Home yesterday yesterday  Country roads take me home...                (sing365.com)

The Country Roads in this song are in West Virginia, but Denver had never even been to West Virginia.  Bill and Taffy Danoff started writing the song while driving to Maryland - they'd never been to West Virginia either! Danoff got his inspiration from postcards sent to him by a friend who DID live there, and from listening to the powerful AM station , West Virginia, which he picked up in Massachusetts when he was growing up.     (songfacts)
