"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，丹佛驾驶的Long-EZ两人座飞机坠毁在加州Grove镇的太平洋海岸，当时丹佛离起飞于蒙特瑞潘尼苏拉机场不久即失事。
当时丹佛所驾驶的Long-EZ飞机，为两人座试验性飞机，70年代由巴特·鲁坦设计而成。不过丹佛所独有的飞机，机身编号N555JD，则是丹佛买来使用，并且针对鲁坦原先的出版设计有些改变：燃油阀控制器搬动位置，原先置于起落架控制杆尾部以及飞行员双腿之间，搬至驾驶员后方以及左前方的舱壁上。
