Mystery Place Challenge 1

Can you Guess what Region of the World this? Then what place in that region it is in? 

Almost Heaven, West Makaha,

high-ridge mountain, crystal-clear blue water.

All my friends there hanging on da beach,

young and old among them,

feel the ocean breeze.

Country road, take me home,

to the place I belong,

West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.

Oh, take me home, oh, country road.

I heard a voice,

in the morning calm, she calls me,

as though to remind me of my Home far away.

Driving down the road,

I feel the Spirit coming to me,

from yesterday, yesterday.

All my memories hold Heaven on high,

brown-skinned woman, clear blue island sky.

Daytime sunshine, oo-ooh so bright,

midnight moon a-glowing, stars up in the sky.

Country road, take me home,

to the place I belong,

West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.

Take me home, take me home, country road.

I hear a voice, in the morning calm, she's calling,

as though to remind me of my Home far away.

We driving down the road, I feel the Spirits coming to me,

of yesterday, yesterday.

Almost Heaven, West Makaha,

high ridge mountain, crystal clear blue waters.

All my friends there sitting on the beach,

young and old among them,

eating fish straight from the sea.

Country road, take me home,

to the place I belong,

West Makaha, oh, Mount Ka'ala.

Take me home, oh country road.

Country road, take me home,

oh to the place I belong.

West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala,

take me home, oh country road.

Country road, oh take me home,

yes to the place, to the place, I belong,

West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala,

take me home country road.

Country road, take me home,

to the place I was born,

West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.

Take me home, country road.......
