Johnny Cash and John Denver singing "Take Me Home, Country Roads" (1978)
@historyinmemes As the father of a WVU Alum....that song always brings a tear to the eye. What a great version....thanks for sharing that. I'm actually in Charlotte today, the boy and I are headed to the Mayo Bowl this afternoon. Hoping to hear that song again...around 8:30 tonight!
@historyinmemes The one song that has the potential to unite the entire world. You know it’s true.
I hope you know that the song was written about a Country Road in MD, It wasn't West Virginia but a road in Gaithersburg that inspired John Denver's smash-hit "Take Me Home, Country Roads."

The fun fact was shared in the "The Glass Gazette" written by Montgomery County Councilmember Evan Glass. (Photo by Tony Russell/Redferns) GAITHERSBURG, MD John Denver's hit song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" wasn't inspired by a West Virginia road It was inspired by Clopper Road in Gaithersburg Maryland it doesn’t look like it did in the 70’s now,this is a little known fact only those of us that live here know it,that’s why you can only find the true facts from our local publications, song was first performed at a club in DC by John Denver
@historyinmemes Don’t tell people from West Virginia that he’s singing about Virginia
