Shenandoah Life Native English Speakers Please Help Me With This!?

Native English speakers please help me with this!? - shenandoah life

This is a song, Take Me Home Country Roads

Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old, older than the trees ---- 1)
Among the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home where you belong ---- 2)
West Virginia, Mountain Mama ---- 3)
Take Me Home, Country Roads

Questions:
1) What does "life" means here?
2) Do not you think 'the place up "is grammatically correct. What should it be?
3) In the case of the "Mountain Mama" his "Mountain Mama", "Mountain Mama" or what? I guess "Mountain Mama" (is not) without capsules correctly. What do you think?

Please explain in detail!

Thank you in advance ^ _ ^!

The first thing to remember is that writing is lyrical, do not expect this kind of formal verification found in English and so on.

1) The life of "not old" means that the writer lived meaning deep cultural roots - people in the region over a long period with little change in their values, habits and attitudes. In this sense, "life is short life for" our kind. "

2) read it - said: "At that point, * I * belong - the abbreviation for the place [where] I am" - again this is should not be written strictly formal.

Mountain Mama 3) "is a figurative expression, not a proper name. Therefore, no need for capitalization.

1) Life is old does not mean that things and people have lived there for a long time
2) No, "the place I belong" perfect grammatical sense
3) "Mountain Mama" should not be activated because it is a proper name (person, place, thing)

I hope that helped

1. Life = life in West Virginia (based on the life of the subject in other places they have been d ')

2. For the songwriter poems, poetic license

3. There is no need for caps ..

1) life as a way of life "or life understood. For example, it could still do things such as the time of the colonization of the old days when cowboys roamed the plains.
2) the place where they belong, is the correct grammar
3) Mountain Mama has no capital refers to all women who live there, as the capital, which correspond to "a" woman. So without the cap would be fair and appropriate.

Life only refers to something that means nothing, it could mean life can mean acualy life is exceeded, or life is long gone, is only part of the song, which is designed that you think.
gramaticaly be correct and what is in modern English in Old English to be correct, it should be "Take Me Home, where I belong"
And yet, large Mother Mountain in the written rule, but perhaps the artist had a reason to be lowercase.

Life here is old, means that the place has not changed for hundreds of years, was not modernized in every respect.

to which they belong, is the right gramaticly means that the singer feels that he belongs in West Virginia.

Momma mountain without caps was also correct. Thwe refer to the mountain as people who believe it is part of the mountain

1) "Life is old means that they lived long ago and is very annoying because it happens almost ritual (nothing different)

2) No, it's wrong, it should be "the place for me." This means he wants to go there, birthplace origanally because he believes that "belongs" there.

Wants 3) In this context, I should say, because the mother mountain) is a proper name (name and all proper nouns / names must begin with a capital letter.

1) Life is old does not mean that things will live long.
2) Yes, "the place * I * belong" is the correct grammar and perfectly logical to me.
3) I think, Mountain Mama was not activated because it is not a proper name is.
