Smile...…...Love John Denver, his songs and awesome voice.  7/1/9

John you are so wonderful.

This was my childhood song. Sitting around the campfire an my dad strumming this on the guitar. He still does. Great times

I heard first time this song about 30 years ago.... When i was on the way to weekend mount climbing in indonesia... My friend found a cassete tape in the ground, it was saying john denver on it... My friend knows john denver very well on young age cos he is a country musician and playing banjo, he handed the cassete tape to me, hold it my pocket to much stuff.... So i kept and arrived home i played it.... First song was take me home country road.... And it end up i glued to his music and played again and again until now 2019.....my thought was God gave me gift that time to listen to his beautifull music...... Thanks john denver.....

Im here because rocky gerung♥️

gua ke sini gegara rocky

Great time for music☺

We were just a riding on, we were just riding on the road

Que linda música💓💖

Whenever we took vacations my eyes were on the scenery around me and I pretended I was riding a horse, crossing rivers and streams and jumping ditches and creeks. Kept my little imagination rolling. Lol

One of my favorite J.D. songs....one of many..so many great artists out there but he's one of a kind..many thanks John...

For my money, the best version of this song was done by Denny Brooks.

This song just grabs your imagination and takes you on the trip .....cool

Smile..

So many amazing songs he's given us, but this is still & forever my favourite. Perfection. Thanks for sharing this, & thanks of course to John Denver for all the joy.

This song is so incredibly underrated, should've been released as a single along with "It's up to you" from the Back Home Again album!

You might check out composer Michael Johnson's original version of this written about his Colorado family in the 50s. Michael and John sang together in the Chad Mitchell trio, and just passed away July 26, 2017. RIP Michael.

I knew it from Johnson's cover--but on the album it lists Carl Franzen as the writer.

It looks like hardly anyone has listened to this YouTube performance, and it's the only one I can find of Franzen singing his own song, though I found several other confirmations of him writing it on the web: https://youtu.be/8Q6nHGdwL94

My Grandfather used to sing this to my mum and her sisters when they were kids. When my cousins and I were kids he sang this to us as well. He was a talented guitarist and had a big stroke and struggled to play again. I remember strumming as he held the cords and we all sang. This song was played at his funeral and reminds me of the best man I ever knew and will ever likely meet. I miss you so much grandad. If I ever become half the man you were, I'd have lived a good life.

Beautiful

Thank you. I haven't heard this one in years.

Ive been looking for this song for YEARS! Thank you for posting this!

TimelordTardis22 it's on the Back Home Again album.

Met a girl in an internet cafe, feeling in love almost everyday...

Jie Song Umm those are not the lyrics

Mercury from the USA and mercury from the UK.

Jie Song Ok make no sence at all

I want to drive from Canada to Montana this summer just to have real experience the same with what was sung in the singing. Emma Watson: Let's go.

America is some British ladies' home away from home. New home here in North America. Yes.

Hi, God bless you all, I lived in England when I hear this beautiful song for the first time, in fact we were doing an english course, and my young and lovely teacher used songs and lyrics to teach us, we were spanish spoken people, I fall in love with this lovely song, years later back home I still remenbered this song. more than 30 years has gone bye and I still love this song....thanks... Jhon Denver, petty you died so young... God bless you.....

My dad used to sing this to me.

Cool song

+Kellye Lomeli mine too!

+Kellye Lomeli MINE DID TOO :/

Kellye Lomeli mine too. Always think of him.

I loved Bonnie Koloc's cover of this.  Wish I could find it.

You're right. Her cover was the best, but no one seems to have it. This is not in fact the best song for John Denver's voice

Alan Lenhoff Its his song he wrote it for his music class in high school

wow! Have never seen this one! Love it! Thamks for sharing! F-ing great!

This is my favourite John Denver song. He truly was a very talented man.

WUNDERBARER SONG - SEHR STARKER GEHEIMTIPP -  NAHE ANNIES SONG
1974

The above picture is one of my favorite John's... Such a boyish charm he had.  Of course, this song is very good, too. So miss him alive.

A beautiful existential song.  One of my favorites.

I have never heard this song! I thought I had most of John"s songs But I love this.Thank you for putting this on! RIP.John I miss you so much! There will never be a better singer,writer and such a caring person!

so LOVE this tune..

I was 10. Dad's car was a '57 Mercury. And the cowboy was Davy Crockett. No wrong turns, though.

Michael Johnson did a cover of this,, I liked it better,, the meter seemed to be more apt,, just an opinion, of course,, RIP john

My dad and his siblings and their father were homeless and roamed the west coast in a car in the 50's. When I really miss him I sing This song.

This is one of my all time favorites of his too.

my main love is driving the road with my wife mary, we have travelled here and we love the old songs of john denvers. this is my favorite of all his songs
