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
growin like a breeze
country roads take me home
to the place i belong
west virginia mountain momma
take me home country roads
all my memories gather round her
miners lady stranger to blue water
dark and dusty painted on the sky
misty taste of moon shine
tear drops in my eyes
i hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
radio reminds me of my home far away
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
take me home country roads
take me home country roads

One of the most popular recording artists of the 1970s, country-folk singer/songwriter John Denver's gentle, environmentally conscious music established him among the most beloved entertainers of his era; wholesome and clean-cut, his appeal extended to fans of all ages and backgrounds, and led to parallel careers as both an actor and a humanitarian. Born John Henry Deutschendorf in Roswell, New Mexico on December 31, 1943, he was raised in an Air Force family, and grew up in various regions of the southwestern U.S. As a teen, his grandmother presented him with a 1910 Gibson acoustic guitar, and while attending Texas Tech University he began performing local clubs. Adopting the stage surname "Denver" in tribute to the Rocky Mountain area he so cherished, he dropped out of college in 1964 to relocate to Los Angeles; there he joined the Chad Mitchell Trio, a major draw on the hootenanny circuit of the early '60s but in the twilight of their career at the time of Denver's arrival. Over time, however, Denver helped resuscitate the group on the strength of his songwriting skills; signed to Mercury, the Trio recorded a number of tracks, which the label repackaged in 1974 as Beginnings with the Chad Mitchell Trio.
