The universal nostalgia for "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

The first line of John Denver's song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" calls West Virginia "Almost Heaven," and when you're up in the mountains, that description can feel pretty accurate.

Country roads, take me homeTo the place I belongWest Virginia, mountain mamaTake me home, country roads
