I've never been to America, but I miss West Virginia.

It is forbidden to not play this song when you are traveling in a truck

Someone in 2024???

Everybody's West Virginia may not be in West Virginia, but they all want their countries roads to take them home. Great song. Timeless.

This make's me miss West Virginia, and I've never left Australia.

Teacher: How old is West Virginia? Me : Older than the trees younger than the Mountains

Born and Raised in WV. Joined the Military and left at 18. I dont get back home near as often as I should. Im turning 50 this year and I find myself playing this song almost everyday now.

Anyone who grows up rural, this is your song and you know why it's special.

When i was a kid i literally thought this was the national anthem of america.

Is it possible to get homesick in your own room?

I'm a single country father with a 3 year old autistic son. I'm emotional right now and this song spoke to me.

What's great about this song is that none of the lyrics seem thrown in just to make a song, or sound catchy, but are all just the real perceptions and feelings of the songwriter, there's a genuineness.

Who else just randomly gets the need that they have to listen to this song

I'm not american, and I've never been to America, and yet this song feels so nostalgic

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 Take me home, (down) country roads

4/1/24 Praying to my maker that my 95 year old Grandfather survives this possible pneumonia battle that has him in the ER. Thank you John Denver for making such music that resonated with a young boy and still takes me back to my youth, where I went on fishing and hiking trips with my grandfather.

*please rise for the national anthem*

I’m British. West Virginia is still my home.

My wonderful dad passed away in September of 2022😢, and he loved driving down country roads and the mountains. He wanted to be cremated. We are looking for a home in the mountains with my aging mother. As soon we found the right location and home for us as a multi generational family, we will bury my father's ashes on the land. Taking him home to a beautiful mountain scene, he would have loved as his forever home!! We love & miss you, Daddy❤😊

Reminds me of my late father who died in 94 at the age of 51, he always played this song every morning before we went to school..miss u pap..al-fatihah...

Doctor: „You have exactly 3 min. and 18 sec to live“ Me: „That‘s oddly specific...“

This song makes me feel homesick and patriotic about a place I’ve never even visited.

Best Bonus Dad ever just passed an hour ago. Born and raised in west Virginia. 87 years old. Love and will miss you Dad.

I first listened to this in 2018… I was 19 back then and I met this guy who was slightly older than me. He was 25 and we used to be good friends. We were studying at the same university and became work buddies. Every morning I would wake up with this excitement in my stomach because I would be seeing him again. I noticed quickly that I was falling in love with him. He was everything I wasn’t back then but even though we were so different, our souls matched in a way I can’t describe. We used to spend every hour together and I found out my feelings weren’t one-sided. It was such a naive and young love. He showed me this song one time we were driving with my car late at night and I told him I never listened to this. He laughed at me for not knowing about this song. After a very intense but short relationship our ways parted. Every time I listen to this I think of him and wonder what he’s doing. Today, I am the same age he was when he met me. And at 25 years, I still do my rice the way he did and I watch the movies he used to watch. And I laugh at people, who don’t know about this song. Everyone we met along the way give us a piece of themselves that we carry with us forever. Thank you for forming me.

Remember that time you were in West Virginia? Yeah, me neither wonder how that memory got there.

This is the type of song that can make you feel homesick while you're sitting at home

My son’s favorite song about coming home to the place he truly did belong…he died in a car accident 10 years ago and never made it back physically, but I have no doubt that he is here now as a very special Angel in the Blue Ridge Mountains❤️🙏🏼❤️

Born, bread, and taught. Dad died 7/17/23. 52, and I have know this song and John Denver for 52yrs, thank you dad! Coal City WV BABY!

I was born and breed in West Virginia 71 years ago. Even though I don't live there now it will always be my home!

Teacher: how old is West Virginia Me: older than the trees, younger than the mountains

America without war is the most beautiful country

This track has a timeless quality to it. It's the kind of music that will be appreciated for generations to come

if John Denver says we're from West Virginia we're from West Virginia

This is bringing back memories I don’t even have.

Anyone in 2024 listening to this legendary song

John isn’t dead. He made it to his home in West Virginia

Me, Russian: /listens to this song/. Also me: *nostalgia.*

This song is universal.Every human has got his own west Virginia ,a place that he belongs to .I discovered this song 42 years ago and it will stay deeply in my heart for the rest of my life..

I am from India,but while listening to this song i feel like i am an American and i miss my home and family in West Virginia 😊

"Virginia was a hard road to travel. So I created West Virginia." - Abraham Lincoln 1863

This song is the only reason some people even know West Virginia exists.

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

Who still listening to 2024 ❤

When I blasted this song in my car it became a tractor

*Taxi Driver:* "where do you wanna go?" *Me:*

Here I am, in the other side of the world, thinking "wow, west virginia must be beautiful". This is music ladies and gentlemen.

Grew up with John Denver, our mama loved him! Just lost my mama last month, took care of her for 8yrs 😔 I’m lost! We just got her ashes yesterday & I had engraved “Take Me Home Country Roads” above her name 😔 1st time I’ve listened to him since 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I'm not American. I've never been to West Virginia. But somehow, this song reminds me of the nostalgia of home. I miss it.

If this song isn’t played at my funeral I’m not even going

I live in West Virginia. This song would’ve been better suited to literally anywhere else. There’s nothing here but mountains and poverty.

Somebody from 2024?

*W E S T V I R G I N I A*

I can't be the only one who gets a strange urge to scream this some times.

You gotta love the foot tapping.... 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.

My Grandads Song 😢❤ R.I.P Donald Broadbent ❤ Love You Xx ❤❤❤

“A tsunami has struck the city!” “ *CoUnTrY rOaD tAkE mE hOmE* “

this song is the only proof that West Virginia exists.

Reminds me of the country side I used to live in, man I miss those days

I love the moment when he say : 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 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 morning hour, she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away 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 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

country roads, *TAAAAAKEEEEE MEEEE HOOOOOOOMEE* To the place.. *inhales* *I BEEEEEEELOOOOOOOOOOONG*

I'm not even american but this song definitely makes me love being american

Rest in peace, John. You will always be remembered for this masterpiece.

Someone in April 2024??

Driver: where do you go sir? Me: take me hoooome, to the place, I beloooong Driver: say no more sir *West Virginia welcoming sign appears*

John Denver didn't die, country roads finally took him home.

I miss John Denver so much! This is just one of a dozen masterpieces he left us, and I'd give anything to have another 30 years of his gifts...

This song reminds me of traveling memories which I don't have.

He didn’t die Country Roads just took him home

This song is 50years old today. First radio release 12th April 1971 ✌

Beautiful Song, Beautiful Singer, Beautiful Place.

Final night of boy scout summer camp, 36 of us all singing, good times

The music of yesterday is so much better than the music of today

Its not that this song reminds people of west virginia but everyone has their own west viriginia that they miss and this song reminds it to them

Me in the east of germany: WEEEEEST VIRGINIAAAAAAA

This song played at Wembley when United won the penalty shootout against Coventry This made me cry Take me home, United road

We live in the western part of the state. Near Ripley. We have had many wonderful people become our friends. I am glad we moved here.

if you ever feel lonely, just start singing "take me home~~" and someone WILL join you. It's the law

*cries in west virginian*

My grandfather was born in West Virginia, this song reminds me of him every time I heard it. Now my family will be moving there. Now I can return to his birth place, and live out my days. Miss you grandpa

I miss my father ,this was one of his favorite songs

Fun Fact: This song is so popular that they made West Virginia in real life.

Showed this to my dog... He’s now my horse.

Timeless, timeless. A song that will be played for years and years. An anthem for the people of that beautiful state.

God bless America. John Denver still alive in his songs.

This is the song that plays if the end of the world has end credits

I was a senior in college when this was playing on the radio. I am 71 tears old now and I still love hearing this wonderful song.

sad home song jaja 🥺 ❤️ Love from San Francisco, California 🇺🇲 🌴 ❤️

This song makes me feel nostalgic for something I’ve never had, but something I feel like I’ve been to.

I'm from Serbia and somehow I have memories of West Virginia even tho I was never there

Fun fact: An entire state was made in honour of this song

This heavenly piece of music and lyrics was absolutely favorite of my wife who left this world in July 18. This song takes me to the immortal times we spent together. Love you JOHN. ❤

I have never been to West Virginia, but this song makes me wish I was born there. What a great country song. I loved John Denver!!

Everyone has their own “West Virginia” - it’s a place about love that we all have deep in our heart

Dad: why tf u crying so loud

A forever legendary song. It always makes my mind crying once its first note jumps out…

I'm French but when I listen to this song, I'm even more in love with the United States

"...to the place, I belong" *D E E P B R E A T H* *_"WEST VIRGINIA"_*

Me: *Not American* *Country Roads Starts Playing* Me: Well Yee my Ha

Poznalam tą piosenkę podczas urlopu w Turcji. Grali ja w ulicznej knajpce co wieczor przed północą przed ciszą nocną. Kocham tą puosenkę i juz zawsze bedzie mi sie kojarzyła ze wspaniałymi wakacjami w Alanyi❤

Not an american but this song just gives me good vibes
