I was in the Air Force and going through a divorce in the mid-70s. I used to listen to John Denver driving the dirt roads in the high desert of New Mexico in my pickup, trying to take my mind off of my marriage problems.
Many of his songs used to bring tears to my eyes because of the tough times I was going through with my wife.
"Country Roads" was one of those songs. Thanks for the memory.

Denver was born in New Mexico when his father was in the Army Air Corps, so maybe you tapped into something.
In the end, though, New Mexico couldn't compete with Colorado and West Virginia.
