[MrELROMANTICO8882]

[FluffMaster101]

How did I come here from King of the Hill?

[deergawd]

my grandma looks just like him here.

[BarrhavenGent]

What can one say about John Denver that has not already been said? Nothing, just a common every day man with a ton of talent. Thank you John Denver.

[bomberxc14]

I love this song but I'm not a country boy...unless being from Cincinnati is the country.

[catfishakaAMC]

125 city slickers driving in a black limousine!

[phil4508]

country boy...dont think so...

[mathewharrison]

@phil4508 John Denver was born and raised in Roswell, New Mexico. Roswell is a center for irrigation farming, dairying, ranching, manufacturing, distribution, and petroleum production. COUNTRY BOY? Not a doubt in my mind!

[phil4508]

@mathewharrison oops....

[RedneckboyJustin]

good song

[ijdgaf323]

John Denver is the only person who could ever get away with wearing that shirt

[Smackdaddy9]

@ijdgaf323 Ever heard of Jimmy Buffet?

[MrOldclunker]

His fiddle playing really sucked, but I loved the mans songs. Sorry most of the fiddle playing as dubbed.

[oriolesmagic5]

Lets Go O's

[TheCamoMen]

its one of the greatest country songs ever, realy weird that john denver wasnt even american, i believe he was from holland, realy says alot about the country way of life that a foreigner with so much talent could live in the city and play other music but chose to sing of the pure and simple ways of the country, god bless john denver

[moheq1]

@TheCamoMen He was born in New Mexico

[mathewharrison]

@TheCamoMen Hate to burst your bubble but he was both in New Mexico.

[Ullarobinlilly]

Thats pure fun! Thanks so much!

[polskibode]

That sure is some interesting attire for such a country boy lol!

[kittysusca]

the ending is killer

[Elys55]

cwinky, I think of the same thing when I hear this song. Lol!

[SuperSkyQueen]

sometimes i see some great videos on youtube with great songs and talented people and see people disliking them. i just never can get that. great song, great performance and great looking country boy that sure knows how to sing.

[6Enrico9]

Happy birthday John!!

[ambersalcove]

[garryscott651]

@ambersalcove YOU MUST BE FROM AUSTRALIA.

[RandomGaming26]

R.I.P

[aburke673]

In the city everyone is pissed off for no good reason.. In the country everyone smiles and waves just to say hey.

[cwinky71]

everytime I hear this song, I think of Pauly Shore driving that combine in the movie "Son in Law"...........cracks my shit up!!!!!

[xpapahcherry69x]

thumbs up if your from the city but a country boy/girl at hart 

[Mistertbones]

Not a John Denver fan, but I like this song!

[skezzmo]

I love it when the guitarist jumps and clicks his heals at the end.

[DinaS6]

I'm a city girl who loves this song!

[gino066]

[kjmmjmmder]

im country boy from the lakes of nh livin on a dirt road going to a 6-12 school with 200 kids in all from 4 towns. yep im a country boy i reckon

[bigpelt55]

@kjmmjmmder come on man, living on a dirt road and going to a small school does not mean you are a country boy. It could just mean your trailer trash that lives in a small town, whats the big deal about that? A country boy is a way of life, not what kinda road you live on, or how big of a school you go to.

[sexhatesme]

@kjmmjmmder i raised up there awesome country and u must be taking about kingswood area

[kjmmjmmder]

@sexhatesme yep in milton to be exact but its the most rural part so

[OrbitProductionsLmtd]

@kjmmjmmder

we know that just because you said "reckon"

[purlofgreatprice1]

This is THE happiest song ever!! They just don't make 'em like that any more!

[miromanism]

I´m a Country Boy from Black Forest..Germany..

[HawaiianGirlz100]

I'm 11 and I grew up with this song. Obviously, I'm still growing up, but this song describes me. as well as she's country by Jason Aldean.

[KestrelKid1]

@DeathTobiasz I'm a Prairie Boy for life. I feel sorry for you pal. Gravel Roads, Window down ... not a care in the world. The only traffic I have in Alberta is cattle.

[berrygirl964]

@30inventionman Yep, he sure did! He was a multi-instrumentalist. He was quite good at the piano, too, though he would say he was horrible at it.

[kja427]

My cousin Todd Merrill was a HUGE fan of Mr. Denver's music;Gee, I wonder why that was.

[RevWillie56]

Cow Town USA; Thank God I'm. Country Girl, John went down in an Experimental Aircraft when it ran out of Gas because the second fuel tank valve wasn't turned on.

[gr8vibes2]

this song kinda contradicts the clowns who consider john denver more pop than country

[knbtickets]

[SuperBaaaaaaaaa]

@knbtickets I'm from the city, São Paulo, biggest metropolis on Brazil, and just happen to love this and other country songs. Don't confuse bad taste on music with location of living ;-)

[shelbykathryn16]

Thank God for John Denver!! We were blessed :)

[leotooden]

Ohh, listened to this all the time with my late brother as kids. Our mom called us her country boys. We had so many good memories Eli. But it still hurts to see your pictures and videos. I could have not asked for a better older brother. I watched you my entire life and will do a fantastic job as being the oldest now. I will protect Emmie, I still can't believe its the two of us now. I miss you so much Elijah.

[TouristTrophyRecord]

2:43 wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuu XD

[TouristTrophyRecord]

I LOVE John Denver Song's! He is my Favourite of ALL Country Music Singers

[Barby74061]

mmh I am new here and i can be shy and nasty too

[TheDaisy8007]

John Denver didn't think of himself as a Country singer, but a singer of the West.

He was raised with Country and Western, But the Country lost the Western. And his songs are of the West, such as Rocky Mnt. High, Sunshine on My shoulds, West Virginia, etc. Only a couple songs such as Thank God I'm a Country Boy, Country Roads Take me Home are Country. But the rest are of what people experience all over the world, and of the West. That is how John Denver described his music. He was a unique man.

[TouristTrophyRecord]

@TheDaisy8007 Yes... He was a unique man...

[xXxTikayoxXx]

114 people aren't country boys

[MrDittohead1]

How can you listen to this song and not smile?

[chosenone238]

wish I was listening to this music when he was alive, this is some great music he puts out

[PopeOfTheUniverse]

[DrKingKid]

Soulja Boy sent Me

[kjallesoft]

I am a country-boy, but never just-that, We all know the WORLD, don't we?

If i might trigger you, woman, it's up to YOU .Let me know.

Bernard Westhoek Belgium.

[jhiggi28]

Hunting season coming up and so are trips to cabin in WV. thank god for JD.

[bloomtime1]

I was a waiter in South Lake Tahoe (Harrahs Casino) The summit and had the privilege

of hosting his large group in their private dining room - during his celebrity charity

ski classic at Heavenly Valley in 1986 - I kind of hung around and listened to his stories as much as possible - quite cool memories the older I get

[DrambuieOnTheRocks]

The greatest singer EVER! In the early eighties, I wrote a letter to him, and he sent me a great letter saying that I made his day! He also sent me an autographed picture on it , signed "PEACE!" , John Denver. I will always cherish these

[susi1662]

@DrambuieOnTheRocks I did the same thing, and received the same in return from John! Unfortunately I lost the autographed photo., but I'll never forget his music and the peace it brought (still brings) to my life!

[bladewheeld]

@DrambuieOnTheRocks cool but is he denver junior>?

[MrNICOLETTE82]

@DrambuieOnTheRocks your so lucky. mum would be jealous.. mine that is.

[rowan1325]

There was so much light inside him

[wbPy]

Time doesn't change a great song!

[wizardmeditation]

also 2 of my papas fought in the following wars, world war 2, world war 1, korea, vietnam, and thats all i know of my uncle was the best u.s. army ranger when he seved and the best army special forces soldier and still is id imagine until i go in

lol oh and im forgetting something, one of my papas fought at pearl harbor. both papas were regular army.

[wizardmeditation]

im the truest country boy there is, born and raised in georgia, all my family and relatives have been too going generations back, my family have been farmers on my grannys side and my papas for generations back, my granny lived in back country in the backwoods, my papa lived in the countryside and true countryboys don't like to be called simpleminded or told they can't spell or speak right that'll get the crap knocked out of you. so you're and you alls opinions are not right.

[sarge958]

@wizardmeditation I'm not saying you're not a country boy and that all that ain't true but...people think otherwise when people have to convince someone that they're country boys.

[MrYaesu840]

True country boys don't need to spell, cause everyone says ya'll and ain't.

[pancakesarebetter]

I'm a city boy and I still love this song. :D

[JonahBlack100]

[JonahBlack100]

113 people never met a real country boy

[EnslavedAndOppressed]

@JonahBlack100 Or they could have traded their life for diamonds and/or jewels, are money-hungry, drive in a black limousine, wish they were driving in a black limousine.

Or they could just not like how this recording is a relatively slow quality, and does not do the performance justice.

[insanesniperx]

FYI Yout00b friends... this song is in Pauly Shore's epic 'Son in Law' :D

[MrBumpmen]

HOLY GOY
