The lyrics of the songs that contain figure of speech are taken as data, and analyzed using qualitative methods. This singer and some of his songs that entitled “Back Home Again,” “Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” and “Take Me Home, Country Roads are chosen because not only his songs are sung by many famous singers such as: The Avett Brothers, Andy Williams, Ray Charles, Lynn Anderson, Chris Nole, Allen Stone, Andrew Stein and even Indonesian’s presenter and singer, Tantowi Yahya But also he got Academy of Country Music such as: Album of the Year (1974), American Music Awards: Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist (1975), Favorite Country Album and Favorite Country Male Artist (1976), Country Music Association: Entertainer of the Year and Song of the Year (1975), Emmy Awards: Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy (1975), Grammy Awards: Best Musical Album For Children (1997) and Grammy Hall of Fame Award (1998), And John Denver was inducted as Songwriter Hall of Fame in 1996.
