Country Roads...


TAKE ME HOME!!!

I heard this driving to work this morning, on the German radio station, of course. Sang and loudly and as hideously as possible, bawling the whole time.

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memries, gather round her
Miners 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 be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the mornin hours she calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home far a-way
And drivin down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

And I'm thinking about home, and 290, 71, 1462, Alvin to Austin and back. And I'm thinking about Bill L and how much he loves that John Denver. And I'm thinking about listening to that John Denver 8 track in the 70s. And how sad that he's gone.

and then FAME came on. and you can't help but be happy listening to that one! :)

That would have had me bawling too - I love love LOVE John Denver and felt like we lost a member of our family when he died! I'd have been singing at the top of my lungs right along with you! Miss you tons!

I used to listen to his tape when I was going to bed. Just thinking about it is making me sleepy!
