"Take Me Home, Country Roads" was released on John Denver's Poems, Prayers & Promises in 1971. He co-wrote it with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert. It was one of John Denver's biggest hits.

Covered by lots of artists including Loretta Lynn, Lynn Anderson, The Osborne Brothers, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Ray Charles, Olivia Newton-John, Wayne Newton, Roy Acuff and that is just up to 1975.

My version is a bit up tempo and a bit more 'folky' than the original.

Lyrics:
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Chorus
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

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
