Lyrics:
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue waters
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 mamma, 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 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
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

I do believe that Mr. John Denver would be proud of just how well this young lady sang his iconic song.

[@hotxi1]

Sure !!!

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

I am an old dude; I actually knew John in the late 70s; I was living in Aspen...of course he really was just as sweet a guy as you would imagine he was; He used to do free concerts in the park for the local kids; he built a new High School for them, and would not allow the town to name it after him...he was just the coolest

[@lint2023]

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing a bit.

[@thehillbillyhoarder4996]

Beautiful song. Beautiful state. Great performance. Thank you

What a lovely song and a beautiful girl ! it's very wanderful to see.

[@user-vx3rk8df8z]

I grew up playing this song and singing it while living in Maryland. Now West Virginia is my home and this song is the mantra , the soul and the spirit of this great state! The tagline take me home country roads is on everything, license plates, tee shirts , tourism advertising, etc. John Denver made us proud with this great song and Emily did it justice! Thanks so much for taking me home once again!

Emily, like many of us who grew up in the 1970s, I loved John Denver! Your version of Country Road is the best I've heard since JD, and that tickles my heart. You are a special vocalist, Emily, one who is able to capture the essence of a song. This is your God-given gift. Never forget that!

I went to Calgary Stampede last summer, and of course this was one of the tunes they played there, and I've had it stuck in my head ever since. Another demonstration of how good lyrics, simple chords, and simple melodies can all come together to make a great song.

You’re really enjoying yourself, congratulations. I was tapping my foot to this one.

[@7greyghost]

I remember John Denver like it was yesterday. When my kids were young and we were going on long drives, we would all burst into song, our favourite was ‘Grandma’s feather bed’. Other nearby drivers must have thought us a cookie lot, singing at the tops of our voices. Loved those years.

Emily Hi! I enjoyed your stay in Norway as if I had been there. The song with Christian, that was beautiful, in every way. The cold made itself felt at home, making it 32 degrees Celsius Celsius here, the pictures of the landscapes and your smiles of happiness. As you will see. Emily conveys more than she pretends to convey. Thank you for a thousand. And very beautiful the song today. I can imagine Christine singing it with her band in a small town in the north of England. Greetings to her family.❤❤❤

[@ralphhayward5693]

What a beautiful young lady. A good singer with no trouble reaching the high note. Thanks for sharing. Good job, Emily

[@JennyMcMaster-mj7fd]

My husband and I were great fans of JD. We spent many hours listening to his music, seeing him in concert, teaching our young daughter his songs, and playing Aspenglow while celebrating Christmas. In fact, our daughter loved, loved his album with the Muppets...and she still plays them every time we are in the car. 😅❤😅

Hey brad what happed to EMILY that shes home safe and sound? I dont get much on social media much other than music on u tube. Btw i am going to do a concert late summer and your invited. Mostly stuff like moody blues ,elp , america seals and crofts outside with a fire and bbq and friends at my small ranch. Last will be my original music and my new song about my raven. I also am a pilot and when i worked the flight line i fueled John on many ocasions .I also took care of roy clarks diamond jet 56rc .So Emily doing johns plane was awesome. I cried and broke down when john crashed his long easy. It was a very sad day

[@bradtaggart5509]

@@whisperingeagle good morning and thanks so much for the invite! Nothing happened to Em as far as I know. We had radio silence there for a couple days during her travel time, but that’s normal. It’s just a common greeting I always use.😊 I was saddened when John crashed as well. His music is timeless. Speaking of that, every single one of the groups that you mentioned you were covering is in that same category as far as I’m concerned. We must have certainly grown up in the same era. You are a keyboardist right? I seem to remember you mentioning that, and with ELP and the Moody Blues on the list, it makes sense for sure. Sorry this response is so late. I actually began writing it a couple of hours ago, (the good morning and nothing happened lines,) but stepped away from the computer and just got back. Mom’s in the hospital and she called just as I was starting to respond to you. Hey, rather than writing in Em’s comments, if you have instagram, she just did a post on this song in there. Find my comment, and send me a friend request or I guess in there it’s a request to follow, and I will accept and do the same back to you, and then we can use DMs to chat. (Like messenger if you haven’t used it, one on one private messaging.) Likewise, if you don’t have instagram, but have Facebook, find my comment on one of Em’s posts and send me a friend request and we can do the same thing in there using messenger. The only reason I say to start with one of my comments is because there are multiple people with my name in both apps, and you’ll know it’s the right one if it’s the one on Em’s post.😊
