John Denver
a country music

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 gathered ＆round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops 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 mornin' 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 have been home
yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place i belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place i belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Life is old there,
Older than the trees ,
Younger than the mountains,
Growin' like a breeze
It is impossible that
John didn't miss his
lovely hometown.
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
It expresses John’s strong
feeling of going back to his
homework.
I hear her voice
In the morning hour she calls me
You can imagine how much
he thirst to go back home.
归去来兮
田园将芜胡不归
Homesickness is a simple and holy feeling
to everyone who was away from home.
