Inspiration for the song had come while the couple was driving along Clopper Road in nearby Montgomery County, Maryland to a Nivert family reunion in Gaithersburg. To pass the time en route, Danoff had made up a ballad about the little winding roads they were taking. He had even briefly considered using "Massachusetts" rather than "West Virginia" as both four-syllable state names would have fit the song's meter.

John Denver Lyrics. Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads Take me home, down country roads Take me home, down country roads.

And the Bee Gees , of course, had a hit record called Massachusetts , but what did I know?
My wife and her family are a good example of this. I'm engaged to a junior intern and we're supposed to get married soon. After being in relationship with him for 3 years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. If your relationship has gotten very serious, your girlfriend will probably try to find agreement in your faiths.
When she had a strict 6: If there was a disagreement, one person was supposed to submit to the other, consult a rulebook that covered almost everything, or turn to a church leader to decide for them. As for deciding to marry someone who is not mormon, here is how I made the decision. I grew up believing that when, where, and by what authority I was married were equally important to whom I married. You'll take out the trash, coordinate all the home repairs, pay all the bills, do all the yard work and generally work your ass off until you're emotionally and physically drained. My surgeon husband of 12 years just made himself a "free agent" when he cheated on me and our three kids with a gal 12 years his junior. She won't look at anything "anti-mormon" but if it's on LDS.
