    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.
    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, 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 momma, take me home, country roads.

    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

    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

      あいこ前田 No. West Virginia is very hillbilly. It was settled by immigrants primarily from what is now Northern Ireland in the early 1800’s. During the late 1800’s it was exploited for its coal resources (which did not benefit the people who lived there). Today it is one of the poorest states in America. It does have some beautiful natural scenery but many of the people there are very xenophobic and skeptical of outsiders. The ex-French part of America is Louisiana which still has a “Cajun” culture (although the French language is dying in Louisiana, the culture is still very distinct there).

    [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

    This song makes you feel like you can see the blue ridge mountains and the Shenandoah river in your head. Skilfully written with the soft tones of John Denver delivering it. I have been there and it is a truthfully beautiful place. Aussie here

    My high school religion teacher used John's music to express the beauty of God's creation. John's music encompassed the majority of his curriculum. It's not hard to see why.
