- 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 - เพลง
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.
God bless your husband
On a mountain top? He is not resting, he is in Heaven.
Press F to pay respects.
Awesome wife, i hope I will find a wife like this, bringing me home if god takes me
Blessings to you and your husband. WV is a fine place.🌿
I love you dad. Miss you
Proud to call West by god Virginia my home. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else but here in these mountains.
Beautiful pictures to go with a lovely song.
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.
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!
Lots of country in Illinois also
Our country roads in Iowa are the best tho, I live in des monies
Just wait till you take a dirt road in southern Missouri
Thanks we love our state, we have woods/forest where no man has walked, except for GOD.
Iowa has more than country roads. But Iowa's country roads are pretty great. And so are West Virginia's!
i still dont tire of hearing his voice...
Damn it, Frankie!
.54!4!😙💞👗
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.
Right good song..brings back memories
I grew up on this music...RIP John....we miss you....
nach dreieinhalb Jahrzehnten auf dem Truck immer wieder schön.....Thank John !!!
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
so beautiful, thank you so much!! I have loved John my entire life, always will!! God I miss him so much!!
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.
One of the greatest song John Denver ever sang. Just gone to early in life, RIP
Happy Birthday Jonh RIP!! Your music still touch's my soul
I'm from New Zealand, this song makes me want to come to West Virginia! love love love
Take me home !!! Proud to be from West Virginia...
+Miranda Bailey Glad you are proud! I love West Virginia too but only got to visit but loved it!
I was born and raised in Wva... Come back and visit... God bless
I wish I lived in America... Beautiful place
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
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
I'm from Germany and I love this song too. :)
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.
I love this song I live in West Virginia and make me happy
Willis Graham I wanna come there!! I’d love to live there
Played at my grandpas funeral, though he wasn't even from America, Glasgow actually, miss you gramps
I love living here in WV. I love the hunting and fishing my state provides, I will never leave it.
Driving through West Virginia and this song came on. It was so homey.
One of the best songs ever written, composed, and sung!! John Denver the Legend!! :) :)
great song by a great singer R I P John Denvor.
I am Caribbean born - educated in NYC and have always loved this song and way of life. Wish I could live out there!!!!
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.
Frankie and Thomas brang me here.
***Brought not brang. brang is not even a bloody word!
***** It is to me. :-)
***** So what.
Walter White brang ? brong ? bring ? .. oh that's the word !
***** He's speaking country just like this song
This song rates as one of my all time favorites. I would love to visit WV in the fall. Thanks for the post.
My mama from Romney, West Virginia, I love you 😍 ❤ mama rest in heavenly peace, from your youngest child # 12 see you 🙏 ❤ soon ❤
Hello 👋 Lisa. 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
Great song:( the last good memory I have if my father before we stopes talking 12 years ago when I was 16 was listening to this with him on long car rides to no where..
this song and his voice just speaks to the soul
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.
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.
hd74man Rappers and hip-hoppers? Lol really?
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.
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.
hd74man *billions
when you sit alone at home than hear than that song you will think at your home!!! Your childhood was awesesome!
Es weckt schöne und traurige Erinnerungen !

Wonderful Country Song!! - Enjoy!!
Farouk; Toronto, Canada.
Thank you for posting this lovely song Love VA my home.
This is a popular song in Germany
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...
+Mark G That is so cool. I bet it is also popular in neighboring Switzerland,as in the Alps...
+Mark G Funny you should say that, because John Denver was German American.
+Mark G It is the German National Anthem. They play it everywhere you go! Very cool song no matter where played!
+racerlex is that really true? that this song is popular in Germany?
wow Frankie just wow
how many of us are here because of Frankie?
Henry Pratt me
yep
Henry Pratt me aswell
Randy Horn lol, from the same place mate.
Just enjoy this good music, enough with arguments, just listen and enjoy. Cheers from Canada
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...
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.
Kerry McHugh
Dang it Frankie.
love this song tho
Country Roads Take Me Home To the Place Where I Belong
lol i see you came here fromm the dayz episode too
Yep XD
dayz haha :´D
one of the greatest songs to ever exist
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.
I'm pretty sure those 3 million views are the Frankie fans.
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.
the32712 shut it
david robert Will be praying for ya. Love ya!
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.
+the32712
And by God I hope you mean Allah.
+the32712 so full of shit

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.
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
I'm from Venezuela and I love this song...
A great song from a great song writer. Now that I live abroad makes more sense...

Not me
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.
Wonderful Song. Save Kansas City....
John Denver-R.I.P

Doesn't really matter "where" in the country , just listening to John brings back a lot of memories!! Growing up on the farm you listened to country music and John was one of them.
p.s.- I'm from CANADA!!!
LOL'S
May good Lord honour all his children with their sweet homecoming... the "country roads" of John Denver is the "Ithaka" of Odysseus, an anthem to all the far away from home and to the sweet day of their return to where they belong...
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!
Thank you for the pictures of gods country
this has got to be the most beautiful song ive heard, or at least one of them
West VA is beautiful. Enjoyed my brief stay there.
a voice that will never be forgotten lets all sing a long
My Mom & Aunt's grew up there. We still sing it at family get-togethers (& non-relatives absolutely love it, & think its the coolest thing.
Love this. Soooo much. Beautiful place.
Thomas the tractor will be remembered. He will always rest in Frankie and all of Frankie's fans' hearts.
Thanks for the video. I could listen to this song over and over. According to my mom, he was my grandma's favorite male artist too.
John loved the mountains and paid a nice tribute to WV here with this song. No woder it is so popular.
❤ 🎶 ❤ sehr schönes Lied ❤ 🎶 ❤ 🎶 ❤ 🎶 ❤ tolle Stimme ❤ 🎶 ❤ ............. 🎶 👍 ❤
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!!!!
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.
So AWsome Song! Thank You
