《Take Me Home, Country Roads》
约翰·丹佛于1943年生于美国西南部的新墨西哥州，从小喜爱音乐，曾经学习建筑专业。1971年，他放弃学业，潜心从事乡村歌曲的创作与演唱。以演唱歌颂弗吉尼亚山区美丽风光的《Take Me Home, Country Roads》一举成名，成为著名乡村音乐歌星。
丹佛熟悉农村生活，热爱大自然，他创作的歌曲大都是赞美大自然和歌颂人类的友爱和美好的感情。因其曲调简朴、优美，内容清新向上，歌词富有诗意和哲理，使他在罗拉多州一带享有"桂冠诗人"的美名。他的吉他弹唱在世界上更是享有盛名。
约翰·丹佛获得21次金唱片奖和4次白金唱片奖，他也是中国观众最为熟悉的美国乡村歌手之一。不幸的是，丹佛已离我们而去，1997年10月他在一次驾驶自己的私人飞机时不幸失事，终年54岁。。
Take Me Home, Country Roads
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 mamma,
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 mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice in the morning hours,
She calls me.
The radio reminds me of my home Far away,
And 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 mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma,
Take me home, country roads.
Take me home，country roads.
Take me home, country roads.

歌词大意
西弗吉尼亚，简直就象天堂一样——在那里可以看到蓝岭及雪兰多河。那里的生活源远流长，比大树悠久，比高山年少，如微风渐进。乡村路，请带我回到属于我的家——西弗吉尼亚，乡村路，请带我回家。
我一直想着我妈妈，她是个矿工的太太从来没有见过大海。矿场上的灰尘总是将天空染成黑色。在回忆中，我仿佛品尝到了以前常喝的家里自制的酒。想到这些，不禁潸然泪下。
我听到她在早晨呼唤我。收音机的声音使我想起远方的家乡。就在我开车回家的路上，我有一种早就该回家的感觉
