Notes About The Poem

John Denver  contest.  Sponsor Anthony Biaanco February 25 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Country roads

It’s always been a dream of mine
To walk down country roads with you
With sunshine on my shoulders 
back home again to what I knew

I grew up in the mountains
The Rocky Mountains high
Where every day was diamond
Neath the wide Montana sky

We all would visit grandma
In a much loved old homestead
Where grandpa played his old guitar
 To the kids in the feather bed


The wings that fly us home
Are the wings of love and joy
When memory comes a-calling
Thank God I’m a country boy
