"Take Me Home, Country Roads", also known as "Country Roads, Take Me Home" or "Country Roads", is a song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver about the state of West Virginia.
It was released as a single performed by Denver on April 12, 1971, peaking at number 2 on Billboard's US Hot 100 singles for the week ending August 28, 1971. The song was a success on its initial release and was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 18, 1971, and Platinum on April 10, 2017.
The song became one of John Denver's most popular and beloved songs. It has continued to sell, with over a million digital copies sold in the United States. It is considered to be Denver's signature song.
The song has a prominent status as an iconic symbol of West Virginia, which it describes as "almost Heaven". In March 2014, it became one of several official state anthems of West Virginia.
1997年10月12日，丹佛駕駛的Long-EZ兩人座飛機墜毀在加州Grove鎮的太平洋海岸，當時丹佛離起飛於蒙特瑞潘尼蘇拉機場不久即失事。
當時丹佛所駕駛的Long-EZ飛機，為兩人座試驗性飛機，70年代由巴特·魯坦設計而成。不過丹佛所獨有的飛機，機身編號N555JD，則是丹佛買來使用，並且針對魯坦原先的出版設計有些改變：燃油閥控製器搬動位置，原先置於起落架控製杆尾部以及飛行員雙腿之間，搬至駕駛員後方以及左前方的艙壁上。
