Abstract	"You may have heard it at a football game, in an advertisement, or on the radio on a road trip far from home. You may have sung along on a rooftop in Thailand, at Oktoberfest in Belgium, or with a Japanese cover band. It may have moved you to dance at a wedding or cry at a funeral. Regardless of where it plays, the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is ubiquitous, unmistakable, universal. If you are from West Virginia, its meaning takes on even more significance, as does its purpose and use. Written and recorded by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver in 1971, "Country Roads" continues to resonate across cultures and audiences, carrying meaning beyond naming, and inviting transformation for a range of rhetorical purposes, in nearly 300 recorded English versions and in more than 20 languages. This book examines "Country Roads," as it illuminates a universal sense of belonging to place even as it obscures the literality of the place it names.
