1981- John Denver- Boy From The Country

Although the song was written about St. Francis by John's friend, Michael Martin Murphy, as John states in the intro, he felt it could've been written by him and that it could be about him.

    This voice is as close to a perfectly tuned instrument as has ever existed. Mis you John. What a gift you were to the universe.

    I played this song at my brother's funeral last year. Taken from COVID, he was THE biggest JD fan. Just an incredibly lovely song...and to now learn it was was of John's favorite as well....I smile.

    There are stalkers and there are REAL people who appreciate Mr. John Denver’s principles in life. That’s me!🤲🏻🤚😀🦋🤚🌈🦋🇺🇸🦅 Why do people make life so complicated and simply live SIMPLE out of love, peace, harmony with some strength in strength looking out for each other.🌈🦋

    one of my all time favorite songs sung by JD and by MMM who wrote it. I had thought for years he wrote it, it is very in tune with many of his songs and lyrics. Still grieve his loss all these years later. The world lost more than a talented artist when he passed. He was an advocate for nature, for the animals.

    I love all John Denver songs but Boy from the Country is my favorite.His voice is really quite beautiful in this song and about the animals speaking they sure do. Anyone who loves animals this song is a heart breaker.❤️🦅🌹🎼

    People should acknowledge Michael M. Murphy wrote this song appearing on his Geronimo's Cadillac (1972). It was his first song he wrote that he was paid for. It's a good album. Check it out. I wish JD would have mentioned MMM more re this song. Beautiful song....one of his favorites.
