My issue is it's about Western Virginia

Allegheny Mountains, Kanawha river would be more accurate.

Like WVU or not, Country Roads is a great song. Discuss amongst yourselves!

Songwriter Bill Danoff said the initial inspiration came while driving...

‘The’ country road was Clopper road running from Gaithersburg
Techdady • 07/02/26 03:33 PM ET
I live right off Clopper Road going towards Boyds!

We lived on the headless horseman road (Game Preserve Rd) LOL for 8 years

Ol' Johnny D. must have
Tidewater Hillbilly • 07/02/26 01:00 PM ET
I thought it was hokey long before I knew it had anything to do with WVU**
marcbvtgm • 07/02/26 12:29 PM ET
Love the song, just reminds me of SouthWEST Virginia is all 😎
hokiepro • 07/02/26 10:41 AM ET
Something like this?**
HokieNL • 07/02/26 10:44 AM ET
What is the deal with the US soccer team and west Va.

As long as it isn’t the Neil Diamond pedo confession song…
Pride_and_Joy • 07/02/26 10:40 AM ET
That's a bit of a stretch. Nothing in the lyrics leads one down that path.
VictoryTurkey • 07/02/26 12:17 PM ET
The lyrics of that song
Pride_and_Joy • 07/02/26 12:22 PM ET
Was better with the original lyrics...Western Virginia**
Tuckahokie • 07/02/26 06:06 AM ET
Take Me Home, Country Roads, with CORRECTED lyrics!
HokieNL • 07/02/26 06:29 AM ET
Missed a line: Take me home country roads... Far away from Wa-Hoooooos!**
Truthahn • 07/02/26 01:21 PM ET
It's the alternative National Anthem along with Free Bird
Happy Dog • 07/02/26 05:10 AM ET
To quote Lloyd Christmas re: John Denver...
VPI_1998 • 07/02/26 03:38 AM ET
I looked it up. It said John Denver was full of...
HokieNL • 07/02/26 06:05 AM ET
Full of......Dope. Weed. There's your 4 letter word **
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 07/02/26 10:56 AM ET
But it has very little to do with West Virginia**
Planner_Hokie • 07/01/26 10:37 PM ET
...
HokieNL • 07/01/26 11:57 PM ET
Except the subject is talking/singing about going home. To WV. **
reestuart • 07/01/26 11:21 PM ET
But its not.**
TheFacts • 07/02/26 08:10 AM ET
"Drunk words are sober thoughts" 😂 Probably true...
HokieNL • 07/02/26 08:22 AM ET
Don't believe me or some youtube fool. Believe the writers.
reestuart • 07/02/26 08:22 AM ET
It’s just funny that’s all
Planner_Hokie • 07/02/26 11:58 AM ET
Absolutely!!!**
reestuart • 07/03/26 12:16 PM ET
John Denver…
Planner_Hokie • 07/02/26 04:56 AM ET
All true, but he didn't write the song. The writers hadn't been to WV
reestuart • 07/02/26 08:24 AM ET
No one ever accused John Denver (R.I.P.) of being accurate in such things**
HokieNL • 07/01/26 10:41 PM ET
A discussion better suited for SNL coffee talk. **
VT Hokie in NC • 07/01/26 10:31 PM ET
Ehhh. No big whoop!**
