Take Me Home, Country Roads: by John Denver

The song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver describes the beauty of West Virginia through its blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River, and older trees. The singer feels a sense of belonging in West Virginia and hears the voice of its "mountain mama" calling him home through her and the radio. Driving down the road, he regrets not being back home in West Virginia yesterday.
