‘The’ country road was Clopper road running from Gaithersburg

To Germantown to Boyd’s Maryland. In the 60”s 70’s it was an isolated rural road. It was an absolutely gorgeous road to drive on back then.

Ol' Johnny D. must have

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 😎

Something like this?**

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!**

It's the alternative National Anthem along with Free Bird

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. **
