6. "Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong....West Virginia". This is my favorite one for the obvious reason....I was born, raised and still live in West Virginia. (Also, Taylor Hicks sang this song on one of the American Idol episodes after the Sago Mine accident and dedicated it to all the families of the miners lost).
7. ok, probly a little bit of a tie on this one. i love Sunshine On My Shoulder, and i think its Annies Song (you fill up my senses?). sunshine becos its just so honest and real, and it talks about being happy and releasing that happiness with a song. annies song becos it can be a great love song, but not over the top campy like pop music gets. its just old fashion feel good stuff. guess thats why hes so popular even after his death.
8. My favorite John Denver son is Annie's song. Becaue it reminds me of someone that means a great deal to me. Someone I let go because I couldn't let her give up her the life she has just becasue I've completely destroyed mine. I"ll give you the lyrics as best as I can remember them, the song is in the key of D major You fill up my senses, like a night in a forest LIke the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain LIke a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Come Let me love you Let me give my life too you Let drown in you laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again (Instrumental humming for five lines) Let me give my life too you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses, Like a night in a forest LIke the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain LIke a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Funny thing...if I didn't love her so much I would have aked her to stay without being too concerned about her uprooting her life just to take care of me, But then again If i didn't love her so much, I probably wouldn't have wanted her to stay as much as I do..did..I mean...you know what I mean. Why does doing the right thing alwyas have to feel so flamin' wrong
9. Rocky Mountain High
