Keep your bullE36 M3 war propaganda in the bullE36 M3 war thread.

I believe it was just written by people who didn't know the area and didn't have Google Maps back then.  This has been beaten to death, usually when WVU plays in a high profile football game.  Typically used as a further attempt to try to insult West Virginians.  It's one of the few things that paints the state in a positive light and discusses it's natural beauty, but no, it's still used to shat on WV by outsiders.

So is he saying that VA is "almost" the heaven that WV is? Or is he saying that WV is "almost" the heaven that VA is?

I don't know, but to add confusion to befuddlement, supposedly he was inspired to write that song while driving through...Maryland.  

That actually makes a lot of sense. If you're heading east on Hwy 50 to make the Cumberland Gap pass through the Appalachians, you emerge from the black-lung hell of West Virginia into the most beautiful and scenic part of Maryland.

Whenever we drive from Ohio to visit family in Virginia, this is the first sight that greets us when we cross into West Virginia (note the half hidden sign in the corner)...

Oh, I know all about being shat on by outsiders. I live in Maryland. The first thing anyone asks you when you tell them you live in Maryland is "So, do you get shot at much?"

I've seen that sign many times. Family in Ohio.

Define "much".
