Young, Neil - Thank God I'm On The Road Tonight Lyrics






There was an ill wind blowing
Through my hair last night
That froze me in my blue jeans.
I couldn't find a light
I know that something's coming
I can feel it in my bones
Thank God
for those old country boys,
I ain't out here alone.

My friends all tell me
I got daggers in my eyes
There's an anger in my heart
That they don't realize
I'm mad as hell at something
That I don't understand
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.

Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
We may not be good looking
But we sure get outta hand
Was that The Devil's stagecoach
Flying over the Rio Grande?
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.

I swear that The Devil
Came visiting me last night
Surrounded my old stagecoach
With his eerie light
He was pounding on my windows
Rattling my wheels
I may not be The Devil
But I know just how he feels.

Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
We may not be good looking
But we sure get outta hand
Was that The Devil's stagecoach
Flying over the Rio Grande?
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.

    The year is 2070, shortly after the breakthrough of Faster Than Light trasportation. Of course, the Fifth Reich did it first, shortly followed by the Social States of North America. The People's Navy's Space Ship Lincoln the II is among the first to sail through, surviving the Conflict of Samoan Skies, and Battle of Olympus Mons.

    My name is Admiral John Jerrington Denver III, leader of PNSS Lincoln, survivor of humanity. Earth is blewn up, so does Mars, and eventually, Sol. Nowhere to go, no fuel to go back, and no one to accompany, I'm here by myself.

    We detected a civilization of Post-Computerization somewhere near the Southern Cross. We had radioed them of our - my - arrival. We don't know how they will react, accept, or conform to humanity, or what's left of it anyways.

    But they're kind, really kind. They had detected our continuous stream of internet since the early 1990s. They have been learning about us, our preferences, and most of our individuals.

    Arriving on their planet, I am redirected to a place. Somewhere near the waters, but dry and warm.

    Their ambassador arrived in what seems to be their take on our 1970s Ford F-150. He gave me a tour of their cities, their history, and their world. How they don't have overpopulation, how most of them live on significant wealth, how they had automated most of their agriculture, and how they're starting to unlock the secrets of FTL themselves. He also played some of their musics through the car's radio device.

    And then, they gave me a gift, the best gift of all.

    I can see in the distance, a near-perfect recreation of an American ranch, complete with the dusty dirt trails, the erect fences, and the farm animals.

    The Ambassador knew what I wanted, how I always wanted to retire to a farm and live off the land, enjoying my old days. I had grown up on a farm in the late 1990s, and I always wanted to go back to it.

    A slow drive through the dirt trails, as he fell silent along the drive. The radio kicks in, switching from their music, to a piece of infamous classic Earth music. Classic American music. The piece dad always listens day and night around the ranch, driving down the dusty roads of my hometown.

    Radio reminds me of my home, far away. Driving down the road I get the feeling that I will be home right today. All my memories gather around it. Dark and dusty skies, taste of Moonshine, and all that, made tears well up on me eyes.

    ...

    I love almost all music, except country music, but this is the best country song ever made in my opinion. It reminds me why we all love our homes, and it reminds me of the reason that this nation is indeed exceptional. My People, our People, The People of the United States of America. I love it.

    When Kingsman: The Golden Circle released, did anyone else walk out the theatre singing this song?

  54. R.... P....

    John Denver’s such a snob. I sent him a letter a couple of years ago asking him to play at my brother’s funeral, and he didn’t have the decency to reply.

  55. T.... F....

    Dislikes are from east Virginia

  70. S.... S....

    Is there any song as American as this one?
    If so why is it that every American has heard it at least once? (Look at the number of the views if you don't believe me).
    LOVE YOU JOHN DENVER, Then, Now and Forever. My heart, My soul.

    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 YESTERDAY, YESTERDAY

    COUNTRY ROADS, TAKE ME HOME
    TO THE PLACE I BELONG
    WEST VIRGINIA, MOUNTAIN MAMA
    TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS

    COUNTRY ROADS, TAKE ME HOME
    TO THE PLACE I BELONG
    WEST VIRGINIA, MOUNTAIN MAMA
    TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS

    TAKE ME HOME, DOWN COUNTRY ROADS
