Lyrics:
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 waters
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 hour, 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, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

I am an old dude; I actually knew John in the late 70s; I was living in Aspen...of course he really was just as sweet a guy as you would imagine he was; He used to do free concerts in the park for the local kids; he built a new High School for them, and would not allow the town to name it after him...he was just the coolest

I was visiting a friend in Aspen in early Dec. 89' when they were setting up the gazebo for Johns Christmas special production that night. we went out to a bar instead.. a lifetime regret 😔
My word, what a lovely version, sung by a beautiful young lady. Good to see young people playing these old tunes.

I do believe that Mr. John Denver would be proud of just how well this young lady sang his iconic song.

You, Emily, John Denver, Colorado and the beauty of Norway are Heaven-just different rooms in Heaven. I have seen all of them except you in concert. Please keep us up to date on your concert schedule in Dubai. Every time you sing is a heavenly experience. Thanks so much for Country Roads.❤🎉
Miss Emily, simply adorable 😍. Incognito and thinking of you and the family 💖💖💖 everyone 💖💖 everyone ❤️
I grew up playing this song and singing it while living in Maryland. Now West Virginia is my home and this song is the mantra , the soul and the spirit of this great state! The tagline take me home country roads is on everything, license plates, tee shirts , tourism advertising, etc. John Denver made us proud with this great song and Emily did it justice! Thanks so much for taking me home once again!

I went to Calgary Stampede last summer, and of course this was one of the tunes they played there, and I've had it stuck in my head ever since. Another demonstration of how good lyrics, simple chords, and simple melodies can all come together to make a great song.

Emily, like many of us who grew up in the 1970s, I loved John Denver! Your version of Country Road is the best I've heard since JD, and that tickles my heart. You are a special vocalist, Emily, one who is able to capture the essence of a song. This is your God-given gift. Never forget that!

Living in West Virginia I give this a big thumbs up (as I do all your videos). You had just thevright tempo and caught the spirit of how John Denver envisioned the song. Great job.

Emily does full justice to this country classic!
맑은 계곡물처럼 흐르는 아름다운 목소리와 높은 산처럼 웅장한 멋진 연주속에 그리운 엄마의 따스한 손길이 느껴집니다.🎉
That crystal clear voice is perfect for this song.😊
Those country roads take me home back to a time when I was 15, I had a GF who was a really good singer and she would sing this song. That was a long long time ago. ✌️ ❤️ 🇺🇸
Reminds me of the time I lived in the Blue Ridge Mts. Going to West Virginia next year. Thanks Em.
The clear voice is like a jewel. Thank you for the wonderful song.
Boy, I wish I could hear you and John Denver sing together! I loved it. 👏
Another spectacular classic-cover song by my favorite KZread artist, Emily! I love this version.
I remember John too. There’s a sanctuary at aspen for him. I had seen it. Emily does a great job.
Emily - This old country boy loved your cover!!!❤️❤️👍👍

Great rendition. I think your style and voice suits country music. Please do more country and add more flair and passion to your music because that is the next step up.
Absolutely beautiful Emily! John Denver would be so proud of you.🌹
I love this song by John Denver and you sing it beautifully ❤️
Great Job Emily! I Loved John Denver... God Bless U. John is shining thru in the background on Ur Wonderful Performance ~ Thank U.
Very well sung..JD would be pleased 😀
Excellent rendition. Your voice is so sweet.. Good Job Emily.🥰 Your guitar playing is superb...👏
Your newest amazing song is an authentic beautiful performance that is simply wonderful Emily, definitely a cover of preference!!! Bravo!!!
I'm 68, so sad John left us so early :-( He was an amazing talent and influence on so many people regarding nature and the Environment.
Voice of an angel. 🎤Beautiful performance Emily.🥰
I live in the Finnish countryside, empty houses ,old pepople, summer cottages around the lake...this time of the year is the best season ...days getting longer ,snow is melting ...this song good to listen after working day ...when dark is coming ...and sun is going down...well done ,you Emily honoroed Denvers way of playing this song.
The perfect song for your voice,the melody carries anybody away, Mr. Denver’s up there smiling .
Great interpretation from you, from a great songwriter. I was lucky enough to experience him before his tragic death. I'm sure he would have loved to record a duet with you. You play & sing excellently & give so many beautiful old songs, like this one, a new shine. Best 💚 regards! 🐅
Sounds very much like Olivia Newton. She also sang this song long back . Whoever sings this song they all take us back to beautiful countryside of Montana.
Such a touchingly beautiful performance on this iconic song Emily!!!!!
Hi Emily, That was a wonderful performance. Any genre that you take on you do it beautifully!! While I enjoy all of your performances, your voice really shines through extremely well in the country genre. As always, thank you for sharing. Great job on your guitar playing as well. You are an up and coming star!!!
John’s music will live forever as long as young people continue to cover his songs !! You did a really good job playing and singing this classic tune your voice was really good !! Every time I hear this song I remember my grand dad this was his favorite song he passed away in 1977 I wore this song on record player out on vinyl I had it on 45 !! Rest in Peace John and my Grandpa !!
I was born in 1964, how happy I am to listen to this song again.🇹🇭
I’m so glad you’re home safe and sound my little songbird! I was expecting an IG post with pictures of you and Rocky reunited.😊 This is beautiful Em. I’ve always loved this song, and my best friend who I used your songs at his service was from there, and I have people I love there still. I love the floral dress and of course your beautiful smile. 💕♾️🫶🌹👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹Thanks to Simon for the great licks in the background!👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹Thanks to your mum and Elvis for their work behind the scenes that always helps to make your videos shine.👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹

Hey brad what happed to EMILY that shes home safe and sound? I dont get much on social media much other than music on u tube. Btw i am going to do a concert late summer and your invited. Mostly stuff like moody blues ,elp , america seals and crofts outside with a fire and bbq and friends at my small ranch. Last will be my original music and my new song about my raven. I also am a pilot and when i worked the flight line i fueled John on many ocasions .I also took care of roy clarks diamond jet 56rc .So Emily doing johns plane was awesome. I cried and broke down when john crashed his long easy. It was a very sad day

@@whisperingeagle good morning and thanks so much for the invite! Nothing happened to Em as far as I know. We had radio silence there for a couple days during her travel time, but that’s normal. It’s just a common greeting I always use.😊 I was saddened when John crashed as well. His music is timeless. Speaking of that, every single one of the groups that you mentioned you were covering is in that same category as far as I’m concerned. We must have certainly grown up in the same era. You are a keyboardist right? I seem to remember you mentioning that, and with ELP and the Moody Blues on the list, it makes sense for sure. Sorry this response is so late. I actually began writing it a couple of hours ago, (the good morning and nothing happened lines,) but stepped away from the computer and just got back. Mom’s in the hospital and she called just as I was starting to respond to you. Hey, rather than writing in Em’s comments, if you have instagram, she just did a post on this song in there. Find my comment, and send me a friend request or I guess in there it’s a request to follow, and I will accept and do the same back to you, and then we can use DMs to chat. (Like messenger if you haven’t used it, one on one private messaging.) Likewise, if you don’t have instagram, but have Facebook, find my comment on one of Em’s posts and send me a friend request and we can do the same thing in there using messenger. The only reason I say to start with one of my comments is because there are multiple people with my name in both apps, and you’ll know it’s the right one if it’s the one on Em’s post.😊
Wow Emily awsome cover performance greetings from CROATIA 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Breathtakingly good! Really shows your versatility.
He was such an awesome singer who left us way too soon 😢❤
Absolutely wonderful perfornance by you Emily. Incredibly sweet voice, you sing fantastically. Flawless video.👌😀🎶🎶🎵🌻
After the flight there is already a 👏 new song, quickly. Thank you. Rest, take care.
Sorry for the delay reaction, this was Beautiful, but I know you will develop soon to surprise us all, keep this up Emily. Grace and Peace.
I remember John Denver like it was yesterday. When my kids were young and we were going on long drives, we would all burst into song, our favourite was ‘Grandma’s feather bed’. Other nearby drivers must have thought us a cookie lot, singing at the tops of our voices. Loved those years.
John Denver was THE biggest star in the world in the mid-70s. Great job.
Wonderful performance in every way! Bravo!
Another awesome performance Emily! I enjoy all your covers and originals!

Emily Hi! I enjoyed your stay in Norway as if I had been there. The song with Christian, that was beautiful, in every way. The cold made itself felt at home, making it 32 degrees Celsius Celsius here, the pictures of the landscapes and your smiles of happiness. As you will see. Emily conveys more than she pretends to convey. Thank you for a thousand. And very beautiful the song today. I can imagine Christine singing it with her band in a small town in the north of England. Greetings to her family.❤❤❤
Very beautiful cover Emily that impeccable voice thank you so much Emily. A gentle guitar as well excellent work.
Emily, your performance is so impressive! I love your voice and the clarity of the way you sing. John wrote beautiful songs and you make them even more enjoyable. I also love your choices in music that make people feel better, especially these days! Please don’t change, you are perfect!❤
Your net is wide in musical choices and without exception I've enjoyed each and every choice and of course each performance!!
You have just made this particular old Canadian fan a very happy man! Thank you Emily 💕💕💕
