Country Roads Are My Home

[Moondog Wily]

On the only other forum I spend any time on, one of the members just bought his first Harley Davidson. All the talk of riding got my mind racing and I came up with a take off on John Denvers' "Take Me Home Country Roads". I changed most of the lyrics to reflect from a motorcycle riders perspective, specifically a rider who loves the back roads/two lane highways. I wrote it Friday and recorded it Saturday, and this is just demo quality at best (still learning how I want to sing it/play it, etc.) but thought I would share it here as I has received positive feedback on the forum I posted it at! Hope you can get a kick out of it ;~))

"Country Roads Are My Home"​

[Verse 1]
Clearly Heaven, twistin' highways, climbin' mountains, rollin' by the rivers
There is peace here, in the sky and trees, floatin' top the mountains,
Thunderin' through the breeze.

[Chorus]
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home

[Verse 2]
All my memories gather round her, biker's lady, smokin' cross paved waters
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, power taste of throttle,
Teardrop tank I ride.

[Chorus]
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home

[Bridge]
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
The radio reminds me of those highways far away.
And cruisin' down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been here yesterday, and today.

[Outro]
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home
Country Roads, that's my home, it's the place, I belong,
In the saddle, free of shackles, country roads, that's my home
Let me roam, down country roads; Let me roam, down country roads
