Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
~ John Denver ~
I can't tell you how many times over the years while either traveling or living away from West Virginia that this song by John Denver ran through my mind and gave me comfort. I especially remember the trip back from Canada my Senior year in high school on a bus where some of the windows wouldn't fully close and it was pouring the rain. We were cold, tired, and a little homesick. As we crossed the state line into West Virginia someone started singing this song. What a feeling!
FYI - I took so, so many pictures during my visit that I'll be sharing for quite some time so perhaps you might find yourself humming this tune before it's over.
I can so relate -- there are songs that run through my head at particular times. Gorgeous Autumn colors Nikki. xo
ReplyDeleteWe were there earlier this year and that song ran through my head the whole time. It is beautiful! I love road pics and take many. This one's a dandy!
ReplyDeleteI am already humming that song :) Beautiful road shot - can't wait to see more!
