This song is not just about American, its for anyone in the world whos missing their home!!! God Bless John Denver!!!

I'm not American, but this song makes me proud to be American.

This song will never get old. Rest in Peace John.

Just a prayer. May the American people be like this, like John Denver's audience. Men and women, black and white, of all ages and possibly many other social classes. All together in harmony, what serenity and kindness in your eyes.

Legends never die.. hit like guys for John Denver.

He didn’t die. He just reached West Virginia. And soon we all will also. R.I.P sir

New England gal found herself a West Virginian man, and made ourselves a beautiful son. He’s now 34. Love this song

Last Sunday, 11/5/2023,in Frankfort Germany, this was played during the Chiefs/Dolphins game there. Suddenly, 50,000 fans from all over the world sang along in unison and it was breathtaking. With all the hate in the world, for 3 minutes during an NFL game in Frankfort, Germany, John Denver united us all in song

This song is not about people that left West Virginia only. It is about everyone that left back their home, their family, friends and the place where they spend their childhood. I am not from West Virginia but this song speaks directly to my heart. What a diamond...

I'm from Indonesia. This song is very famous here. Sung by all ages, from children to adults. Maybe this song can be a song that unites humans in the same thing: desire to "go home" [in Indonesia we call it mudik]. John Denver is amazing, miss him a lot🌾🌾🌾

This song never gets old. Huge respect to anyone still listening to Johnny Denver.....from Fort Worth, Texas

This is my dads who is an immigrant from Poland favorite song to play on his guitar and sing in his broken English. I also love this song. 💖

Makes me feel so nostalgic, I miss West Virginia so much. -me, who hasn't stepped outside of India

I grew up in a really tough neighbourhood in the seventies and eighties. Crime, violence, drugs, poverty, handicapped mother, father a criminal, always in jail. Everyday was really tough to get by. Growing up like that you could not help but to get always in trouble and into fights just to stand your ground. However, when I first listened to this song by coincidence I was 12 years old and it suddenly filled me with so much peace that I got addicted to listening to this song. I clearly remember laying on my bed as a kid in the runned down housing project with fungus coming through the wall, listening to this song over and over again just to destress. The calmness and happiness I experienced listening to this song was like a pure miracle to me. Of course as a tough kid I would not openly admit to listening to that kind of music. Only my best friend at that time knew and he had a great voice and he liked J D too. So whenever we met or when we were on our way to school I asked him to sing that song for me. The same experience I had with Poems , Prayers and Promises and many other J D songs. Years later I made it out of the ghetto and accomplished a good education and a honest and honourable life. Maybe just because of these songs. RIP John Denver, I would have loved to tell you this story in person.

Anyone 2024 😅

*I always enjoy country music but when I meet my parents in law I totally fell in love with this style of music. now they aren’t here anymore. First my mother in law 8 months ago got a message from God and one week ago my father in law got the same message. They are in better hands in better place. Country music is my only ways to bring them back to me. Thank you Mavis and Jim. I love you both forever for teaching me another way to enjoy life and love! 😢💖✨*

The world is a little darker without him in it.

Poor John, the world always takes the good ones

This should become our second national anthem. Such a beautiful song. So American.

This is going to be my wedding song. Proposing tomorrow when I get home from being deployed

I am 78 years old n I still love these country songs. It takes me to the good olden days where we used to dance for these kind of music. Thanks a lot.

I'm from Russia, and I felt this song and let out a tear. Not all Americans know that we like your culture

I sang this to my mom when I was a child and sang it to her again days before she passed this past July...it will always have a special place in my heart. ❤

Proud American here!!! (I'm Filipino)

My son who is only 12 years old and autistic loves this tune. He knows a good song when he hears it and loves to sing this one to me 😊

Teacher: How old is the U.S. State of West Virginia? Me : Older than the trees, and younger than the Mountains

Who still listening to this in 2024. R.I.P JOHN

Am not American. But how can I understand the spirit of real America? I turn on this song, close my eyes and here I am standing on the road that goes into the distance beyond the horizon, where the sun is slowly setting. Someone taps me on the shoulder, I turn around and see an old man with the face of John Wayne. And he, smiling barely noticeably from under the brim of his hat, tells me - There are things, son, that you cannot understand with your mind, but only with your heart...

I hope John found his new country road, rest peacefully legend.

The dude at 1:30 is 100% from East Virginia

Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., thanks for your contribution to the world. Rest in peace.

This man was so talented and amazing. God gave him such a gift to soothe our souls.

This is no song. This is a *HYMN.* This is divinity.

I'm from West Virginia. This song means more than anyone can imagine. Mountaiers are free forever

What a beautifully honest song about home and being separated by distance.

From Mumbai been listing to this song for 25 years since my mom introduced me to country music...this from a metal head❤❤❤❤

This song brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. My mom wanted this played at her funeral, so we did. I miss my mom and my home state of West Virginia.

RIP John Denver (December 31, 1943 - October 12, 1997), aged 53 You will always be remembered as a legend.

I met John Denver when he came to my university as part of a voter registration program. County roads had just come out. How I miss the 60’s.

John Denver was great. His voice was great. RIP 🙏 John.

One of the few artist that I would love to see live. RIP Sir, I’ve loved your music my whole life

This single song has the power to make life worth living.

Saw him in concert three times. He was INCREDIBLE! We miss him!

Not an American still I feel this song covers the emotion who misses their home, Love it

This song teach us, how to be peacefull

How in the world could you dislike such a marvel..

this song... is for all... who were born by a mother.... somewhere.....

John's voice just got better and better with time! What a loss.

If John Denver says I wanna hear you, you gooddamn better start singing.

My mom was born and raised in WV. She passed away before Christmas. We made the trip down country roads to take her home. I miss her. We brought her home to Buckhannon, WV. Our daughter played the ukulele and sang this song. The entire family joined in, and so did the minister! RIP mom. Glad we could take you home. I love you forever.

ഈ ഗാനം എപ്പോഴും എൻ്റെ ഹൃദയത്തെ അലിയിക്കുന്നു

Genius song, lyrics. I always wondered about the line "stranger to blue water," but my (WWII hero) dad was the son of a WV coal miner, and all the otherwise-lovely mountain streams are still copper-red from mining pollution. No state has suffered environmentally and socially more than WV.

No matter how many years pass, this song will stay in our hearts forever !!

I live in Argentina, and even today at 74 years old I am accompanied by his songs that reached my heart, long before I knew his lyrics. The days in the country where I spent my vacations in winter and summer, rural roads and mountains silhouetted by reddish sunsets are associated with my early childhood. During my youth I discovered that his songs and his music softened my nostalgia because somehow I also felt included. His actions in favor of peace and the preservation of nature speak of his spiritual greatness. Thank you John for continuing to exist among us.

Mit dem Song hat sich John Denver unsterblich gemacht. Tolles Lied!

I always wished he made it universal, we all have country roads , but he made it clear on his description and history was truly his. West Virginia,describing the area,well done, and never get tired of listening to this song!

For my boy Charlie, who passed away suddenly on 3/27/23. A dog that loved to sing (howl). He would start howling if this song was played, he loved it. We love that boy and he'll always be on our mind when listening to this song

RIP John Denver! You left us alone... but your music will live forever and will unite us to promote the peace that we need so much

R.I.P genius John Denver

John Dever was a great man. He left us too soon.

Grew up in Short Gap West Virginia and when I was traveling home to see my father who was very ill this was playing on the radio and when I slowed down my wife said what's wrong? I said I am too late he has passed. That line of "should have been home yesterday" still gets to me after all those years.

This song hits the soul every time whenever It's been played.

Was listening to this with my eyes shut and I could hear birds tweeting, half 12 at night so not coming from outside. Can anyone else hear it? This is my favourite love song ever, reminds me of being about 5 years old waltzing around the living room standing on my step fathers feet - happy childhood memories

This song is something else, not just a song. It has a spirit and feels like it pierce through my soul! Beautiful song 🎶

R.I.P John Denver. You may be gone, sadly but, your legend will never die.

It's a patriot's homesick song who lives anywhere on Earth.

a Hero for Humanity.. so many souls .that inspired the Nation & the World Growing up with their music...... God Bless them for Giving us HOPE and Love.. to have inspiration on this Journey called life... God Bless you forever John....Amen ..

We used to camp on the Shenandoah when I was a child. West Virginia, never met a person who wasn't kind and welcoming! Good people! God bless John Denver. I still grieve for his passing. We will sing with him in the next life!

I'm 73 and everytime I hear John sing, or one of his songs...I CRY for the great memories he gave me and everyone who loved him. He's never going to be Gone as long as we remember.

RIP John Denver.. this is an everlasting song

GREAT SONG by a TALENTED ARTIST!!! And, HOME is wherever You make it, not just America 😊

This song will never get old. Mr Denver knew how to capture emotion into a song and turn it into gold. RIP, Mr Denver. Thank you for your musical impact. Whenever I'm driving on a country road, I'll think of you.

This is probably the only song that is universally loved by everyone who knows it. It's so positive and upbeat, and timeless to boot. Makes me want to go to West Virginia, despite beimg from England.

It just chokes me up every time I hear him sing the line, "I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday."

Yes 2024 can't replace songs of yesterday's . This generation still listening to

Whoever is stuck is corona and can't reach his/her home, I wish you find your country road.

The legend that made my life, I went to all of his concerts till he died, rest in peace.

Happy Heavenly 80th Birthday, John Denver!

Ich bin jetzt 67 Jahre aber ich vermisse die Musik auch jeden Tag.😢

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…

When John showed up for the sound test before this concert, he was greeted outside by several fans singing this song. John was so impressed that a song he recorded 23 years before was still so popular then. And 25 years after, it's STILL a much loved song. We lost you too soon, Mr. Denver - those country roads took you home. Thanks for the music and memories, like this one.

Banjo is the instrument of USA. We need this energy back.

My dad would play his 8 track when I was a child and his music never disappoints. RIP legend.

For you John and your family... For ever and ever this song is in our hearts and on our lips...

I'm 25, i never knew John Denver. But i get goosebumps listening to his music, especially this song.

One of the few artists who successfully bridged folk and country music. He left us much too soon.

I'm crying right now I really miss John Denver

I love this song. John Denver was a great singer who is truly missed.

Hey everyone, just stumbled upon this live rendition of 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' by John Denver from The Wildlife Concert, and I'm completely blown away. John Denver's authenticity and the atmosphere of the live performance are giving me all the right vibes.

What a beautiful music! I'm from Brazil and this song somehow brings memories of home!

2:30, you could really see he enjoyed what he was doing 😭 RIP John Denver, you will always be missed

My mom loves John Denver... She plays it every morning. It reminds her of my late dad because he used to love John Denver as well. Rest in peace, sir...

Great singer, songwriter doing what he did best! Bravo 👏….RIP Sir

His spirit will always have a home here in West Virginia, his mountain mama. 🌄

what an amazing man who was taken out due to a plane crash.

This Song Comforts my Grandma when she has Cancer😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭And she died December 2018( Rest In Peace )

John Devner grazie. Grazie da tutto il mondo. Il tuo spirito risuonerà per sempre

He was bad mouthed as a true country singer. But he sure has memorable songs throughout his career. People didn't want to admit that they liked his music. But he sure was talented

Played this for my mum's funeral a few months back. Thank you, Mr Denver. Love you, mum. ❤

Singing this while on a trip is like living in heaven
