With my annual pilgrimage to by birthplace less that 60 days away, I started thinking about my home state and what I want to do when I go back. Normally I just visit family and friends, but I think I am going to do a bit of road tripping when I get there. I know the gas is going to kill my wallet, but it only happens once a year and it has been forever since I have seen some of these places. Audra Park is on the top of the list. Lots of fond memories about that place.
Until that day arrives, I can just hum along to the unofficial song of my home state, performed by John Denver:
Almost heaven, West Virginia
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
All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads
