35 years at Sea and I Am finally headed back to the Blue Ridge Mountains for good! My Home. God's Country

His songs make you feel great and happy to be alive

my dad died yesterday and this songs inspired his life as a trucker, his code name was heartbreaker roll on dad rip i’ll see you when you get back home

I bought this record when it came out back in 1974. There were two brothers I knew from high school in the record store at the time and one of them said “Enjoy your _John Denver_ in a sarcastic way. I said “Thanks, I will” not at all concerned about what they thought. If anything I felt sorry for them that they couldn’t see how great his music was. Still listening at 64. I’ll love this music until I die!

It's the little things that make a house a home.

John was his own genre. Nothing like his music. It was country, cowboy, pop, folk. All with heart, meaning and musical excellence! ❤

This Song is the way America should be living , the simple life . .

John had one of the most clear , pure and rich voices I have ever heard. Simply beautiful !

The line "There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove" makes me all warm inside. Picturing a little cozy cabin with a fire burning in a stone fireplace and the smell of a nice meal cooking. Ahhhh, the simple life. We all need to get back to the basics of life .

Country Music Association should do the right thing and put John Denver in the Hall of Fame where he rightfully belongs!

I live the country life on small farm with few cows, chickens. Use wood heat. Raised my two sons in the country. Wonderful life!! But I also love to go to the beach and mountains. Loving God! Thank God for his wonderful creation for us to enjoy. Birds, trees and flowers. ECT. Thank you Jesus 🙏❤️

If this song doesn't bring you comfort, if doesn't warm you inside, if doesn't give you a sense of peace and calm then probably nothing will and if you can relate to the song in any way if you've been to one of those places on a farm or truck it's going to be particularly special for you. I know it is for me

My mom absolutely loved him. I miss you Mom!

When I arrived home after being overseas for a year. One of the first songs I heard was this beautiful song . It was 1978. No Where Illinois never looked so good as it did that morning Feb 23 1978.

I silently cry when I hear this song. I want to go back home.

In 1974 my husband was sent to Korea, this was our song. So many memories.

John left us on October 12, 1997…. RIP, John. You are greatly missed.

This man is from God. He sings what hurts in my soul. I can't help but get emotional when I listen to his voice.

The kisses that I live for and the love that lights my way? Beautiful.

True story. My wife and I were driving from Virginia to Denver. Had XM Radio on. As we crossed Kansas into Colorado, "Rocky Mountain High" came on! I just KNEW that John Denver was welcoming us.

Love this song. Always makes me wish for less loss, more love and a sense of home.

I got this album for Christmas back in 74 when I was 11 years old. I still have it. I’m 60 years old now and about to retire from trucking. I started driving trucks in 81 the same year I graduated from High School. After 41 years of trucking I can relate to the “tired old body” part of this song. John Denver, Bob Seger, and Merle Haggard have always been my favorite singer songwriters. I’ve followed John’s career since his first hit song in 71. This song takes me back to Southern California where I used to live when it came out on the radio. I’ll never forget John Denver and I hope to meet him someday in Heaven. 🙂

I've been a truck driver for over 25 years and I can say honestly that this song has a personal meaning to me...especially when I get home here in Mobile Alabama after being gone 2-3 weeks. GREAT MEMORIES & REMINISCING TEARS.

I loved John Denver. He was imperfectly perfect. 😢 I miss him.

Love how he paints a picture with his words. It is so visual.

I grew up on this man's music. RIP Mr. Denver.

There will be always someone who doesn’t like.......this is the way life is. But a majority love him.....

My brother's in the final days of his life. Only 37 years old. I lost my mom 3 years ago to cancer and another brother 13 years ago at the young age of 25 to the flu. This song makes me think back to when we were all together as kids in the country. Now my wife and our kids are living that same life. I'm hoping they don't take this time for granted like most of us do.

I grew up listening to John Denver with my mom. I really miss those times.

I wish this country could go back to the great old days

Snow storm moving in an finally after all these years i get to just stay home on the farm an enjoy it!! Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend! Perfect

Was a trucker for 42 years lost my love and wife few yrs back and in her opinion this shoud have been the truckers anthem.John Denver was a GREAT TALENT and annies song is one of the greatest love songs ever written God bless him

My dad loved this song… 😭

This song, this album was one I played many times before I was a father. The picture it conveys reminds how much I loved and still love my wife ( sadly divorced) and my very much grown daughter. The song just highlights how important the love families need and should show to one another.

John Denver music be soothing and calm. Listening to his songs are literally relaxing. Man is good. RIP legend!

I'm 52. Been listening to John Denver since I was little. This takes me back to the good old days. Playing outside all day, going home when the street lights came on, fireflies and all my childhood secrets 🖤

Thank the heavens for sharing John Denver with us 🕊 The world is a better place with his eternal music 🌈

when you memories went back as young kids and spending your time with your family before their passed away.

Rest in peace John Denver you warm everyone's hearts and even after you Sad death you will bring joy for many more years to come

I liked my hard rock ( I'm 64) but when John Denver came on , I listened to him , as did many of my friends, my opinion he belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame AND the country music hall of fame !

I just listened to this song again, never gets boring. Love this song. Sadly missed.

Not only can you picture the scenes but you can even smell the coffee! "Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend" Thanks John, because all of your songs are like old friends to me. A wave from London UK.💖

My late sister Elaine's likes this song she passed away July 4,2016 Im playing this song now RIP love you sis

I'm a 12 year old girl who goes to a sleep away camp every summer. His songs truly remind of that place, because it is my second home. I love it there and I love his music. My friends and I sing "Take Me Home Country Roads" every year at he closing camp fire.

I could listen to this song ALL day EVERY day. It’s that beautiful. ❤️

John's music struck a chord in each of us ... His words were so real - He was so humble and knew what 'the good life' was really all about -

I live in a city, and whenever I listen to this song (or any John Denver song) it makes me want to pack my bags and move to the mountains. Lucky for me, I'm a teenager so I can do it. That'll be a good day.

Great God! This guy's music will live forever.

One day in 1997 i was walking to work south of Market St. in San Francisco (SOMA) in the morning, turned a corner, took a glance at a bank of newspaper boxes to my left, and saw the headlines "John Denver Dead." I've never known the death of a celebrity that truly saddened me to this very writing as the death of John Denver. My spirit was regenerated in 1972, when i became a born again Christian, when 'Rocky Mountain High was released.

My father and I didnt get alot of alone time. One time driving back from Tennessee to Michigan, we were alone. We just played this tape over and over. It was raining but not hard. I remember the smell of it and us singing along.

I'm 70. In the 70's we packed up our 1975 F250 with her 10'2" Cab over and hit the vacation highway. Today our Grandchildren and even some of our Great-Grandchildren sing the songs of John Denver, The Statler Brothers and Kenny Rogers, just like back then. Great then, Great now!

Throwing on a pair of sweats, a flannel shirt and some wooly socks. Curling up to my sweetheart on the sofa. Watching the logs crackle in the fireplace after a long day. These are the good times.

No matter what mood I'm in, John's music always makes me smile

He was one of this country's finer song writers and fine human being! We'll never see the likes of a John Denver ever again...ever again!

Never a trucker; just raised in a rural town out on the prairie. The imagery of a storm rolling in, a hot summer afternoon, the sounds that come from a highway, a railroad miles away; it's the little things that evoke memories of a childhood. The lapping wave of nostalgia is a pleasure; it's good to be reminded like a long-lost friend...

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away The whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky Ten days on the road are barely gone There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove It's the light in your eyes that makes him warm Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time? What's the latest thing the neighbors say And your mother called last Friday, sunshine made her cry You felt the baby move just yesterday Hey, it's good to be back home again, yes it is Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down Feel your fingers feather soft on me The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way The happiness that livin' with you brings me It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you It's the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove The light in your eyes that makes me warm Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again Hey, it's good to be back home again, you know it is Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Hey, it's good to be back home again I said, hey, it's good to be back home again

The line "Little things that make a house a home" makes this song one of my favorites.

My favorite John Denver song.

with a voice so sharp and clear ,and a hand full of common words this man turns them in to a song that people can really relate to ,and make everyone fill so warm. God bless john D

No one can match this man; his songs are melodious, meaningful and downright heart touching! I 1st time I saw him in concert, WDC, as a young Marine officer, away from my home in Montana for the first time...can still close my eyes and see it all, circa 1974. GOD bless you John, your still my favorite!

Back Home Again!❤

I’m 14 and I love this 10,000 times better than what they play today. They really need to bring this type of music back, for good.

As a 20yr veteran trucker, this song brings back great memories!

this is real music

Grew up listening to John Denver....still one of my all time favourites

Just got home from the hospital and thought of this song

This man just clicked with you. He was one of us. We miss you!

Best country folk singer ever.

What a wonderful voice he had...he left us much too soon 😥...

This song means such a lot to those of us who spent night after night in a truck and eventually made it home

It's the little things that make a house a home

Finally John has a star on the Walk of Fame.

He sang of the life I wish I remembered. Thanks John

it is the little things that make a house a home

As a retired senior USAF officer who has spent a year remote assignment away from his family, plus many more months of temporary duty away from family, this song hits home. I grew up in Colorado, love the mountains, and after retiring from the Air Force, eventually moved back home to Colorado. John Deutschendorf and I share the love of the Rocky Mountain High. As an amateur musician myself, and a DJ during high school and college, I deeply appreciate John's way with lyrics. RIP John.

John Denver, his sweet, gentle, nonjudgmental kindhearted nature and his beautiful music always reminds me to enjoy the wonderful people I love in my life, and that no day should be taken for granted! Bless and Rest In Paradise good friend !

Grew up on this music,in the mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania. This one is one of my favorites....his real name was Henry John Deutchendorf,his father was an offficer/pilot in the Air Force who flew jet planes,out of Roswell. He will be missed.✝

I wish I could have the kind of life John is singing about,sounds like a great life!God bless you john

don't think people know how much of a huge loss, losing John R.I.P mate

No matter what kind of trouble I'm in or how angry😠 I get. John Denver's music💽 has a way to calm me down & forget all my troubles😀.

The clarity of voice. No straining. Smooth and slow. Refreshing to listen to a singer who can actually sing. Nothing against current 'artists' but...., how many can carry a tune with just a guitar? Not many. Enjoy!!

I'm a city folk and I never encounter music like this. (I live in Los Angeles) I'm really into the Hard Trance, Techno and electronic music. You'd expect me not to like Country at all. But boy was I missing out after discovering John Denver and other related artists. Good stuff.

This song reminds me of the day I was being driven from Duke Marine Laboratory (Beaufort, NC) in 1978 to the Beltsville, MD on my way home to Freetown to meet my family after completing the International Training Program in Marine Sciences. I was so home sick at the time and when this song came on the cassette player, I requested it be played over and over on the trip. As I was dropped off by the professor (who gave ride, can’t remember his name) I was given the tape with this song as a parting gift. I will always remember that ride on my home, and the generosity of the professor. I play this song over and over today in thanks and remembrance. God Bless prof.

not only cabin. could be just an ordinary farm house, of a farmer who supports it driving a truck. grew up that way myself

This song always reminds me of summer camp in the mountains. John Denver was a favorite out there.

Like an Amish window with the light of God shining through, directing me in right, wrong. 🤗👼💃

I have always loved this song because as the song is titled, it's always good to be back home again, no matter where that may be. And it's so true that it's the little things that make a house a home.

Everytime I hear John it reminds me of my late brother. I miss them both 😭😭

How we all long for those days and places where we grew up, the golden fields of gently waving wheat of Kansas. How I miss them.

One of the most heartfelt love songs ever written.

John Denver was a Folkie. He wrote and sang Folk music in the vein of Woody Guthrie when he started out. He just struck a chord with Country and Pop music fans with his Folkie/Hippie style of music...God Bless him. RIP John Denver...

Damn this is a good song! Thank you, John Denver.

this song was on the radio 50 yrs ago ..i was listening while fixing some things in our RENTAL....my wife passed in september... THIS BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES

His style, the beautiful story telling is comforting. He has so many great songs in his catalog. Surely missed and gone way too early.

John Denver will always be awesome

Brings back the greatest memories of when all the old folks were alive and Sunday supper at grandmas with all your cousins around playing games and getting into trouble. We thought it was hard times then but looking back it was the special time. We were very fortunate. More fortunate than today’s youth.

I remember singing along with the radio along with about 40 other kids on the school bus on the way home in 1974. Six years old then and times were much happier than they are today. John had some songs that were on the charts for several years not weeks like today. Country roads had steady air play from 71-76 on my local station in Wausau WI, few musicians had that staying power. The Eagles were another.

This is another of John Denver's songs that rode with me through those winding mountain highways in Virginia and West Virginia when I drove a truck back in the day.

John Denver's songs, especially this one, can give me a feeling of the type of innocence I had when I was a child before the world came in and took it away. He had a type of uniqueness about him that no one else had. I do miss him too and I'm glad we have his music.

Can anybody bring back the old times please?
