From The Estate Of John Denver - DBUK

We live here, in Colorado

Never did nothin' to harm this state

With our foolish ways

But there was this one, from West Virginia

He traveled out west to catch his fate

And he formed a plan for our state

He said, «Father, please call me Denver.»

«I'll make you money.

I’ll bring our clan fame.»

And his people, they all complied

So now he goes around the world and plays his songs

People scream out, «Play that one about Country Roads!»

He says, «That one’s about West Virginia.

I want to be known for Colorado.»

Our friend Jello called us from Frisco

Said we’ve been left a note from the Denver estate

It seems there’s a map, of West Virginia

And at the end there’s a treasure that will bring us fame

So now we walk the hills of West Virginia

We think we’re following along those same Country Roads

And at the end, our treasure will be

Words and music to the best song that will ever be known

Munly, Munly

Look at these people

They’re all wandering the same Country Roads

And they all split bills and banjos

Slim, yes, it’s true, what you see and you say

And look in their hands, they all got the map from the Denver estate

It seems the estate, estate of John Denver

Thought to make their son the only hero of Country Roads

So now we are the victims of his song

He pulled one over on us, it won’t last long

Because we’re almost to the end of this song
