John Denver was kinda an asshole but this song is a timeless bop

When I visited Ireland I was with a tour group, so everyone knew we were Americans right away. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” was played at every single pub we went into. After I asked about it, several folks said they thought it was our national song.
Petition to make this misconception a reality?

Fun fact! None of the songwriters had ever been to West Virginia when they wrote that song.
