Take Me Home Country Roads was co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief stint in a folk group which was Denver's first Top 10 solo hit. Danoff initially wrote the song by putting Johnny Cash's song in his head, however Denver knew from the first time he heard earlier versions that the track was going to be an instant popular.
