Her sour looks are all part of the satire. She grins at the end of it. Johns verse at the end shows what a put on it is!!!

No, he's making fun of rednecks. How could you miss that? Well said. That's just how they are.

As a european I'm not that confident with U.S. satire but here is evident... last line is "love me or I'll punch you in the mouth"... Great John and Taffy once again!

John wants to burn peace-freaks? I've now changed my whole opinion of him.

Its pure satire!!!! They're just having fun and that's why she has that dour look on her face as well. Like the Mitchell Trio use to do a lot of political satire.

This song is about 100% of what John Denver was NOT all about - there must be a reason that he chose this song!!!

Of course it's satire! How much more obvious does it need to be?
Many thanks for preserving this great stuff. I heard the first performance of Country Roads at the Cellar Door in December 1970, and never missed a performance of either John or Ian & Sylvia there for many years. A rotten shame the Cellar Door is gone forever now.
John, Bill & Taffy ... it was never better than that.

Y'all do understand biting, ripping sarcasm, don't you? The "klux" and the "punch" (definitely not in the Haggard version) have to let you know that the song is making fun of rednecks. I survived Vietnam, enjoyed the music, and always thought it was a hoot that the war protesters would sing this song with great enthusiasm. It was sarcasm y'all. John Denver's dead . Go easy on him.
