Gauley Roads

Sweets Falls with Barb and Joey, 2001


Gauley Roads
with apologies to John Denver

Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, New and Gauley Rivers
Holes are sweet there, keeper ones that tease
Unsuspecting swimmers, thrashing on their knees

Gauley Roads take me home
to the place, I belong
WEST VIRGINIA! Upper Gauley
Take me home Gauley Roads

All my memories gather round them
Skillful guides no strangers to white water
Bright and cheerful painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine laughter in their eyes

Gauley Roads take me home
to the place, I belong
WEST VIRGINIA! Upper Gauley
Take me home Gauley Roads

I hear a voice in the morning how she calls me
The Room of Doom reminds me of my life far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have left home yesterday yesterday

Gauley Roads take me home
to the place, I belong
WEST VIRGINIA! Upper Gauley
Take me home Gauley Roads

Gauley Roads take me home
to the place, I belong
WEST VIRGINIA! Upper Gauley
Take me home Gauley Roads
Take me home Gauley Roads
Take me home Gauley Roads




Thanks for reading.

HI Matthew,

I love your site and what it has to offer. It has been one of the very few sites that I come back to if I need time to unwind and to learn of things new. So just as a special gift I have an award for you and your site over at our streets. I do hope you like it :)

I love this song of John Denver. The word substitutions seem to work beautifully when I tried to sing the song. So, which one is you in the picture?
