Take Me Home, Country Roads Written by John Denver เพลงนี้ทำให้จอห์นได้รับรางวัล Grammy Hall of Fame Award ในปี 1988
Almost heaven, West Virgina Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, flowing like the breeze. สูงเสียดฟ้า.....เวอร์จิเนียร์ตะวันตก เทือกเขา Blue Ridge และแม่น้ำ Shenandoahไหลผ่าน ชีวิตอยู่ที่นั่นกันจนแก่เฒ่า เก่าแก่กว่าต้นไม้ใหญ่ แต่ยังไม่เท่าเทือกเขา ค่อย ๆเติบใหญ่เหมือนสายลม
(Chorus) Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads. ถนนบ้านนอก....(ชนบท) พาฉันกลับบ้าน คืนสู่ถิ่นฐาน เวอร์จิเนียร์ตะวันตก เทือกเขาที่ถือกำเนิด พาฉันกลับบ้าน...ถนนบ้านนอก
All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusky, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. หวนคะนึงถึงสาว...เมื่อคราวคลอเคลีย สาวชาวเมืองไม่เคยไปเที่ยวทะเล ดูฟ้าข้างหน้าที่มืดมัว.... Misty taste of moonshine,(ไม่แน่ใจ...) น้ำตาไหลคลอ.... (Chorus)
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls to me Radio reminds me of my home far away Driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home yesterday (yesterday) แว่วเสียงสาว ต่อสายทางไกลมาแต่เช้าตรู่ เสียงเพลงจากวิทยุ เตือนให้นึกถึงบ้านที่ห่างไกล ขับรถไปตามถนนสายคุ้น ๆตา คุ้น ๆว่าเหมือนมาเยือนบ้าน.....เมื่อวันวาน

Back Home Again Written by John Denver ( released in June 1974)
Hey it’s good to be back home again .. ดีจังกลับมาอยู่บ้านอีก.....
" Back Home Again "
There’s a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin’ in The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders There’s a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away The whinin’ of his wheels just makes it colder
He’s an hour away from ridin’ on your prayers up in the sky And ten days on the road are barely gone There’s a fire softly burnin’, supper’s on the stove But it’s the light in your eyes that makes him warm
Hey it’s good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again
There’s all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time What’s the latest thing the neighbors say And your mother called last Friday, “Sunshine” made her cry You felt the baby move just yesterday
Hey it’s good to be back home again - yes it is Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again
Oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down Feel your fingers feather soft upon me The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way The happiness that that livin’ with you brings me
It’s the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you It’s the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burnin’ supper on the stove The light in your eyes that makes me warm
Hey it’s good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again
Hey it’s good to be back home again - you know it is Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Hey, it’s good to be back home again I said hey it’s good to be back home again .

Rocky Mountain High Written by John Denver ( released in September 1972)
" Rocky Mountain High"
He was born in the summer of his 27th year Coming home to a place he's never been before. He left yesterday behind him. You might say he was born again. You might say he found the key to every door.
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away On the road and hanging by a song. Well the string is already broken and he doesn't really care. It changes fast and it don't last too long.
But The Colorado Rocky Mountain High I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby. Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High Well he climbed the feeble mountains. He saw silver clounds below He saw everything as far as you can see. They say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun.
He lost a friend but keep the memory. Now he walks in quiet solitude thru the forests and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes. His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of clear blue mountain lake. And The Colorado Rocky Mountain High I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Talk to God and listen to the casual reply. Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High
Now his life if full of wonder But his heart still knows some fear Of the simple things he cannot comprehend. Why they try and tear the mountains down To bring in a couple more, more people, more scars upon the land.
And The Colorado Rocky Mountain High I've seen it raining fire in the sky. You know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly. Rocky Mountain High
The Colorado Rocky Mountain High I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Friends around the campfire and everybody is high. Rocky Mountain High
