Country Roads - John Denver (Take Me Home, West Virginia)

It's amazing that this video got 4 million views, you can see the power that John Denver's music still has after all these years.....I made this video in honor of the great John Denver, and for who loves this song like me. Take me home, Country Roads.
Now with lyrics available as subtitles

[@Katragew]

I'm not here for John Denver, I'm here for my late husband Rick, who was from WV. His last request before he passed was for me to take him home to WV, which I did. He is now resting on a mountain top there. I will love him forever. Thank you, for this.

[@JoJo-gi5sc]

God bless your husband

[@logawinner]

On a mountain top? He is not resting, he is in Heaven.

[@f.b.i.7000]

Press F to pay respects.

[@xDawhite]

Awesome wife, i hope I will find a wife like this, bringing me home if god takes me

[@jongalt9038]

Blessings to you and your husband. WV is a fine place.🌿

[@randomnessinside2]

I'm a born city-boy (Cincinnati), but my mother was born in West Virginia. I'm proud to call myself half West Virginian, and I love to listen to this song- makes me think of my family and my other home state. When I get tired of the city traffic and noises, I like to think of a simpler life that's closer to nature. Country roads, take me home.

[@IoWaCoRnDEALER]

I'm from Iowa. We aint got shit but country. And I like that. But once I drove through West Virginia, I felt blessed. In my opinion its the prettiest of the 48 land states that ive been to by far. God bless America and west Virginia!

[@anavergeredneck1460]

Lots of country in Illinois also

[@Twistex]

Our country roads in Iowa are the best tho, I live in des monies

[@bmak76]

Just wait till you take a dirt road in southern Missouri

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Thanks we love our state, we have woods/forest where no man has walked, except for GOD.

[@werterther]

Iowa has more than country roads. But Iowa's country roads are pretty great. And so are West Virginia's!

[@jeantize]

Ahh, Country Roads! Who could sing it better than John Denver--No one! He was the all time greatest singer songwriter to have ever been on this earth and he is missed so much. When I travel the first song to come to mind is Country Roads . Course I think of Rocky Mountain High too!! John is missed by so many and I pray he rests in Peace forever and his music will always be loved by many.

[@markclifford1857]

Hello 👋 Jeannie. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl

[@beckyobryan489]

Jean, listen to Ted Vigil. He's a John Denver tribute artist. I think you'll like him. Not as good as John, but pretty close.

[@gamingwithiceberg1094]

I love you dad. Miss you

[@the32712]

Us Appalachian folk are the last major remnant of a time before all this new technology. Back when men and politicians actually had spines, and God was glorified.

[@davidrobert4919]

the32712 shut it

[@the32712]

david robert Will be praying for ya. Love ya!

[@unionrdr]

the32712 Right on!My family arrived in Corley, west by God in 1728 & 1734, deeded what is now 3 counties of land at the time around Corley, west by God by the German government of the time... Several generations of my family are buried on what once was Cogar Mountain till it was finally sold. Fuckin' 'ell.

[@jonathanbradbury2665]

+the32712 And by God I hope you mean Allah.

[@dimwitsixtytwelve]

+the32712 so full of shit

[@SuperBrotherBob]

Wow! I can't believe 129 people don't like this song. This is true Americana. I grew up in Oklahoma and I think this a beautiful song. I need to go visit West Virginia before I die. What a great video with some beautiful pics.

[@jonnndoe8538]

Back then it was God's country. Beautiful landscape, with a beautifully sung song. Love this song also John. From Jerry Bast

[@hd74man]

Where did the musicans who created fabulous songs such as this all disappear to? 254 dislikes. WTF? Must be all the rappers and hip-hoppers. This song stays in your heart forever.Thank God I was born in the 50's, and caught it all from Elvis to Tom Petty. RIP John Denver....your talent was loved by millions.

[@DonByronDukeoftheArctic]

hd74man The masses are hooked on the Prozac, Big Macs and Reality TV. Numbed into submission. Modern entertainers (note I did not use the word "musicians") could record themselves in a heated moment of flatulence and put a back-beat to it and it would sell. We cared about the intellectual and musical aspect of our musicians back in the day. Now, the next numb is all the kids care about. Sad is the modern world.

[@pasifikbwoy7278]

hd74man Rappers and hip-hoppers? Lol really?

[@judescheidler857]

Great musicians are still out there. It is just a new, different generation of music. As time and people change so do the tastes in music. Though the classics are still remembered, society changes and older generations are left behind.

[@rckism4198]

i just came from listening to that gosh darn rappity rap. after that i listened to wish you were here (entire album) and now this.. fuck stereotypes, all genres put out good music. open your mind a little bit.

[@theMcWOPPER]

hd74man *billions

[@dougfelker6916]

As a young troop in officer training at Ft. Knox in the summer of 1971 i heard this song drifting across the cool night air while on guard duty, it has haunted me in a good way ever since...peace be yours John.

[@2011mmain]

Calm down everyone you cant fault people for not knowing how great it is to be from this great nation. They don't understand what real freedom is and how great it feels. GOD BLESS THE USA and EVERYONE else. I remember singing this song from middle school chorus class and the memories are priceless.

[@67buick350]

Ya know unless you grew up with this you would never know that this was Top 40. It was in the play list with all of the rock and Top 40 of the day. There were no "Country" stations, it was just that. I miss that format and I miss this beautiful peaceful classic. We need more music like this and less of that crap the recording industry calls music.

[@eleanorrm]

Born and raised in WV! I moved away at 23 because of my husband's work. This video made me tear up... thank you for posting!! Mountaineers Are Always Free

[@markclifford1857]

Hello 👋 Eleanor. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl

[@mirandabailey8285]

Take me home !!! Proud to be from West Virginia...

[@jeantize]

+Miranda Bailey Glad you are proud! I love West Virginia too but only got to visit but loved it!

[@mirandabailey8285]

I was born and raised in Wva... Come back and visit... God bless

[@gftk5566]

I wish I lived in America... Beautiful place

[@ElsonMartins]

I'm Brazilian and I live in Minas Gerais state. This music represents the spirit of the state. Simple people that's like live here. We have most beautiful mountains in Brazil. I love to live here. That's where I wanna to be buried.

[@nebucanezar]

Proud to call West by god Virginia my home. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else but here in these mountains.

[@welatperwer30]

This song not only takes me back to my childhood, but also reminds me of the love, the mercy, the feelings we human have forgotten and all that unfairness in the world...

[@THENUTSBIGDIRTYBASEMENT]

Frankie and Thomas brang me here.

[@darinally717]

I am Caribbean born - educated in NYC and have always loved this song and way of life. Wish I could live out there!!!!

[@camrayment]

Brings a tear to my eye every single time. I've been all over this country and for all it's beauty I've never found another place or people that can compare to West Virginia. I love this place so much and it pains me to know how it's been exploited and sold by everyone from MTV to king coal. In 100 years it'll be nothing but flat "reclaimed" mountains with shopping malls on top. Thankfully I'll be long gone by then.

[@EclecticHillbilly]

This was just a flat out, great record. Clean production, the arrangement, the performances......everything just gelled. It sounds as fresh today as it did the first time I heard it, 44 years ago. Great pictures, too.

[@Pewling]

Damn it, Frankie!

[@jmj437]

One of the greatest song John Denver ever sang. Just gone to early in life, RIP

[@kawapilot]

Right good song..brings back memories

[@jacetoler9982]

I'm just a kid and I love this song. yes I am from West Virginia but only 9 years old. if he was still alive every one would here it.

[@kevinrichards2510]

Moved to Amazing CO in 97... Before being so "blessed" i had the opportunity to tramp across Europe. In a small village in Germany i heard men, women, children belting out this song. With an amazing German accent, banging beers together. One world. One people. I now live in that country home. Left the big city. Found my own way. Life is a wonder when you love and live. Thanks JD

[@lilestfozzy]

Kevin Richards It's kind of silly how a lot of places in western Germany eat this kind of music up. In fact two summers ago I travelled to Bavaria to visit my brother and went to a couple festivals where much of the music involved either Folk Blues, Swamp rock or classic German Folk.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Grew up on country roads, in a place called Davis Creek, we love our state, West Virginia.

Played at my grandpas funeral, though he wasn't even from America, Glasgow actually, miss you gramps

[@obbor4]

One of those songs that knows no geographical boundaries, creed, religion, or political affiliation. If you don't like this one, you may already be dead...

[@TheSagaLover1]

Beautiful, but very depressing to me, My first husband loved this time of year. He was killed in the fall and each year, just reminds of how much he loved it. I think he would have loved West Virginia!!! I hope heaven looks like this for him...I love and miss you and our little girl...both of you rest in peace...

[@cadealderman3240]

I live in West virginia and I'm only 12 but when I was little I would be out in the woods with dad hunting and I would start humming this and then we would start singing it all the way back to the old pickup such good memories God bless West Virginia

[@MsEasterbrook]

Have you seen the video at the West Virginia football game, where at the end of the game 60000 fans sing country roads. John would have been soon proud !! Thanks Taffy Nivert and her husband for helping write this song!

[@barbararichards6066]

this song and his voice just speaks to the soul

[@wingsofadove5614]

I cannot listen to this song without crying. I moved far from my home twenty years ago because I wanted to find something better and different. I have faced so many challenges and this song never fails to reduce me to tears. I just sent it to my mother as a text message.

[@leah4939]

I'm from New Zealand, this song makes me want to come to West Virginia! love love love

[@19hobbes]

In my younger years I spent a lot of time away from WV while in the military. Listening to this would make me horribly homesick. Still love my home state. Live in central Virginia because that's where the job is. It has mountains and is nice, but I still love to go home and visit. My family has been in the area of the small town I grew up in since before the turn of the century...the 18th century. Old family grave yards with deceased dates in 1705-1710.

[@markg999]

This is a popular song in Germany

[@unionrdr]

Mark G I wonder if it's because a lot of us came from Germany? My ancestors are from Upper Bavaria, which looks a lot like home...

[@calebvapereviews4051]

+Mark G That is so cool. I bet it is also popular in neighboring Switzerland,as in the Alps...

[@bluestingerborg]

+Mark G Funny you should say that, because John Denver was German American.

[@racerlex]

+Mark G It is the German National Anthem. They play it everywhere you go! Very cool song no matter where played!

[@TheLastHylianTitan]

+racerlex is that really true? that this song is popular in Germany?

[@johnekama2172]

great song by a great singer R I P John Denvor.

[@michaelshunkaha7721]

Great job! It was videos with pictures like these and John Denver's music that got me through four deployments, being WIA five times and receiving a "Dear John" letter from my wife while doing daily patrols in Fallujah, Iraq. After all that it was John's music that healed a heart and soul that no longer wanted to live. Thank you so much for this beautiful video, and thank you John for the gift of your music. You are so badly missed.

Oh and to my x-wife's new husband remember this, she was cheating on me when she took up with you so don't turn your back.

[@jilhal24]

I never been to WV but I remember singing out-of-tune this song to my younger brother as I helped him finish an assignment on the Mid-Atlantic. Who knows how I learned the song, but it always stuck. My foreign-born coworkers have said the same w/o even asking. The song instills nostalgia, no matter where you come from. Makes you miss home.

[@victorburk254]

This song rates as one of my all time favorites. I would love to visit WV in the fall. Thanks for the post.

Country Roads 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 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 I hear her voice, in the morning hour, she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And 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 Momma Take me home, country roads

90% of views Achieved thanks to frankieonpcin1080p sending a link of this country song that is surprisingly not half bad. Frankie is so different from any other KZbinr I've ever seen. Who else can agree?

[@texasson7950]

I used to live in the Washington, DC area. i would often drive through West Virginia on my way to and from Texas. I always enjoyed my travels through WV. I still go through WV when I travel East. West Virginia, stand proud!!!! P.S. I have gone white water rafting on the New River. Great!!!!

[@grosphus]

Have yet only visited the Southwest of the US - will never forget Grand Canyon or Las Vegas. One day, perhaps, I can see West Virginia also? Otherwise the song is sheer rememberance of sitting around camp fires on summer evenings - in better times, when I was younger and full of spirit...

This song always takes me how. Long ago I used to sing this song to my girlfriend because she was country at heart. Later on she dumped me, ran away, and married another guy. One guess where he was from and where she ran to? West Virginia. This song makes me always stop and think how things would have been if I was willing to move and go home to West Virginia.

[@chazhanna6066]

There sure are times,I wish I could be back home. I always love to see family,and take in my surroundings. It's funny, I wanted to leave there,when I was younger,so I could see the world. Now,that I'm older,I find myself drawn back to it. Maybe someday I'll be there to stay. When I leave this world,part of me needs to be scattered across the mountains.
