"Country roads take me home"
Edited on Sat Jul-23-05 05:34 PM by nytemare
That was just a good damned song, even for a city type gal.

2. I actually want to go back to the city I am from.
The "city" I am in sucks. I am just saying, I like the song.

Ugly little bugger. Looks like Karl Rove.

7. I want to go back and see my grandma but
she died in 91, so I can't. She was my safe place. She liked me no matter what. How sad. :cry: :hug:

11. I am sorry about your grandma!
Mine passed in '01. She was 93 years old. She would always say "I'm a tough old broad". She lived through her husband's death in '65, breast cancer, the depression and ww2. It is amazing to think of the things people that age went through.

our grandkids will think as much of us.

8. "And home sings me of sweet things, life there has its own wings..."
Home, Bonnie Raitt.

Posted from deep in my country (190 acre farm in middle Tennessee). Just waiting on the sun to turn down a few notches so I can finish cutting the lawn, then harvest tomatoes, sweet corn, pole beans and beets for dinner. May throw in some cornbread also. And iced lemon mint tea.

Sorry you're stuck in the city. But someone has to be there. Otherwise it would be crowded out here.

Fly Holler, TN. It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

9. One of my all time favorites. John Denver was a special person
and I'm sorry he died so young.

I've sung that song around many campfires over the years and each time it brings back warm memories.

:hi:

When I was in Amsterdam they played this song at the end of the night at bars, and everyone sang and knew all the words.

18. Have you ever actually driven
down a country road? A long, bumpy, vibrating drive. Your inards will be liquefied before you reach home.:shrug:

20. Paved country roads aren't bad.
But I have been on the type of road you speak of, and they are torture on the bladder.

21. It's worth it.
I have a few favorite country roads in upstate New York. Seneca County to be exact. No traffic, no people, great view, nothing but birds, bees, furry critters, flowers and trees.

Why, it's almost heaven! And worth having your kidneys half-liquified from bouncing around to get there.
