片中所引用的插曲「Take me home, Country Roads」，原本是Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert和美國歌手John Denver 的著名作。在片頭所播出的，則是 Olivia Newton John所演唱的版本。而尾段所播出的日文版本則由 本名陽子所唱。
John Denver 自從憑著那首《Take me home Country roads》名揚四海以後，就一直以巨星的身份出現在世界歌壇，他的知名度在七十年代的錄音方面相當高，幾乎無人可以達到。1997年10月12日，John Denver因自己駕駛的私人飛機失事而喪生。
Take me home, country roads
John Denver
Almost heaven, west Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze
Country road, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country road
All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
that I should've been home yesterday
鄉村小路，帶我回家
清晨時分，我聽到她呼喚我的聲音
收音機提醒我家還很遠
在開車的路上，我有一種感覺
我應早日回到家的懷抱

決定了不管遇到任何挫折絕不流下眼淚
不知不覺加快的腳步像是為了沖淡思念
Country road 就算這條路是通往故鄉
我還是不回去 不能回去 country road
Country road 明天、以後的我
想要回頭 也不能回頭 再見了 country road
＊Country road 順著這條路一直走下去
就能通到那條大街 縈繞我心的 country road
c)英文譯本
I dreamed of living
without fear of being alone
Bottling up loneliness
I'll go, preserving my strong self
*Refrain
When I stand still, tired from walking
My old home town comes to mind
The steep road that winds the hill
Scolds me for being that way.
*Refrain
No matter when I feel downhearted
I never cry
Without meaning to, my pace quickens
To erase the memories
Country Road, even if this road
continues to my home town
I won't go, you know
The Country Road I can't take
Country Road, tomorrow
I'll be the same, you know
I want to go home but I can't
Farewell, Country Road
*Country Road, If you follow
this road all the way, I have a feeling
it's the Country Road to my home town

TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River.
Life is old there,
Older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
All my memories gathered '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 momma,
Take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me,
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
