這支“Take Me Home, Country Roads” 可以說是 John Denver 的成名曲, 雖然稍前的"Leaving on a Jet Plane" 已經樹立了他歌曲寫作者的名聲, 但是那支歌1970年在排名榜上奪冠之作, 卻是由Peter, Paul and Mary三人團演唱的。 一直到隔一年,John Denver 自己演唱的 這首“Take Me Home, Country Roads” 1971年在排行榜爬升至第二名, 此後,John Denver 的名歌連續出爐, 奠定了他在美國流行音樂與鄉村音樂樂壇上的地位。
John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads
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 Miners 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 shouldve 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
