Lyrics:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

I was in Berlin, Germany in 1992 and went this place called the Irish Pub to throw back a few. They had this two piece band there cranking out a bunch of American tunes all night. At one point they broke into a stretch of John Denver tunes, and man that friggin' bar came ALIVE! Everybody was singing in English (with German Accents of course) and people got on the dance floor and even some tables dancing their butts off. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen! Those Germans love their John Denver.

I'm a year-round competitive swim coach. And we recently had a big swim meet down in Ohio last week. Anyone who has kids of their own or works with kids knows how tough this pandemic has been for them. It's been an emotional roller coaster battling covid. Anyway.. the DJ at the meet played this song just a few minutes before the meet started, and I was expecting myself and the other coaches to know the song since we're a bit older and the kids wouldn't like it. But then I stopped and looked around the pool deck and almost every kid on deck was dancing to this song. It was so fricking cool seeing that and seeing these kids smile again. Music is so awesome, and this guy was one of the best.

This John Denver album was given to me when I was 16 years old, It was my first ever birthday present{but that's another story}, I had never heard John Denver's music before, but I played his music and loved every single song. and I listened to his music everyday until i could sing every song by heart, I was heart broken when I heard of his passing in his airplane crash. And now, at 63 years old, I still love and listen to his beautiful music whenever I can. God blesses John Denver and American country music.

[@zep4426]

I met him outside a Harvard College auditorium where I’d just Ostend to his speech on world health. I went out the side door and stood with my young Son ext to his limo. Out he came. As he passed me and got in I said “Hi John. Good luck.” Now in the car, he smiled and said “Thank you.” My little moment with John. The next night, I drove to Providence, R. I. and had a great seat with young and old people watching, hearing him sing. I marveled at that. He will always be my favorite. Robert Plant...a close 2nd.

Metallica lead singer James Hetfield is a country music lover. One surprise inclusion on their 1996 album Load is a beautiful and bitter-sweet country ballad about love and loss called Mama Said. Look it up here on KZbin. Even if you're not a Metallica fan, or a fan of hard rock or heavy metal you'll be pleasantly surprised 🙂

Haven't heard this song in years. I loved it as a kid. Listening to the lyrics now I realize how much these lyrics apply to my life.

Daniel OG LOC Lister if you think about it it's not just about playing a fiddle the song can be interpreted as living a simple fulfilling life. Just know what you want, get what you need, find a job you enjoy, and be happy. It comes in many forms.

[@TBlev215]

I hear ya. I spent 3 weeks stuck in Brooklyn recently and I was so happy to finally be back home in the suburbs and see green again that this song got stuck in my head, and I performed this song at open mic with my guitar last night. And the crowd loved it! Thank God Almighty I’m home again! Woohoo!

[@brentanllewellyn3898]

I really miss Mr Denver. He really was a big part of my youth. Thank you for your brilliance sir. Edit.. People like John Denver made the whole world a better place.

John Denver was such a great writer. Lots of storytelling in his music.

When J.D was around America was a much warmer, and kinder....but then he died and America went cold, and dark, but that doesn't mean we can't make a comeback; we just need more great singers like J.D who love nature, and their country!!

[@ddcs0s]

The problem is people don't know how to get along with folks that don't agree with all their BS The real problem is politics ... Folks started listening to all these political dickheads instead of listening to their neighbors I'm a big country boy from Thomasville Georgia blue eyes and all I moved to Fresno California as a kid ... All my friends were Mexicans they liked the same stuff as me we all wore boots listened to country music and drank Budweiser and we got along ... We focused on what we had in common and we all became friends I had a lot of black friends too I grew up listening Georgia legends like Ray Charles and Otis Redding and I loved me some good fried chicken I ate what they ate I listened to what they listened to Ironically I didn't like most of the white people in California very much they didn't season their food where overly healthy and looked down on my for my accent they listened to pop music and thought I was a hick because of my boots so I had very few white friends out there ... I always thought that was funny because I know people don't expect it from me when they see me

John Denver and Johnny Cash are the reason I haven’t completely written off Country as a genre. Amazing song.

Just counting the hours and minutes until I get out of work and go home to see my daughter, letting this song carry me across the time back to my home.

[@firefalcoln]

I miss the days when musicians and audiences were more open-minded. They’d take risks like making some songs about enjoying nature or rural and simple charms as well as other songs which reflect the hustle and bustle and diverse beauty within cites.

I'm a classic rock guy, but John Denver is my guilty pleasure, he did country music right, it was all about nature and living a good life, not drinking beer wearing stetson's.

[@Bagelnuggetben]

Every year my family goes camping to sequia national park, and we listen to his whole live album, I live in LA, and I'm not a big fan of country music, but John Denver will allways have a place in my heart RIP :( If he was still alive I would love life better!

Whether you liked country or not, everyone LOVED this song. Just like "The Devil went down to Georgia." No surprise this hit #1 on Billboard.

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack It's early to rise, early in the sack Thank God I'm a country boy Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm My days are all filled with an easy country charm Thank God I'm a country boy [Chorus] -Well I got me a fine wife I got me an ole fiddle -When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle -Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle -Thank God I'm a country boy When the work's all done and the sun's settlin' low I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low Thank God I'm a country boy I'd play Sally Goodin all day if I could But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good So I fiddle when I can, work when I should Thank God I'm a country boy [Chorus] Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds and jewels I never was one of them money hungry fools I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools Thank God I'm a country boy Yeah, city folk drivin' in a black limousine A lotta sad people thinkin' that's mighty keen Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean Thank God I'm a country boy [Chorus] Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side Said, "Live a good life and play the fiddle with pride And thank God you're a country boy My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle Taught me how to love and how to give just a little Thank God I'm a country boy [Chorus] Cheers!

It also makes you better with being positive and feeling good because it has a happy and gives you a good positive feeling and that makes peacefulness in life and you gotta understand we all need peace in this life that God has given us because it makes life better and puts our lives in the right direction

What a wonderful comment

[@haulshine4093]

pure and flat out live also! I was so very blessed to have seen him live twice. The first time was in 75 when I was 14. He held 10,000 people in the palm of his hand. When he said "clap ur hands" and went into "well life on the farm is kinda laid back" that place just lit up! Five years later john did the same thing.. Just a amazing performance both times..
