The song 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' is about western Virginia, not the state of West Virginia

I gotta remind you, Big Cat, it's not about West Virginia. It's about West Virginia. Yes... It's about the Shenandoah Valley [which is in Virginia].

The song mentions the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains, which only pass through a tiny sliver of West Virginia but are iconic landmarks of Virginia. The songwriters have admitted they had never been to West Virginia when they wrote it.
