Lyrics From The Estate Of John Denver - DBUK

From The Estate Of John Denver

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
