west Virginia. The song is about the state of Virginia.
Also, is West Virginia actually a state?

Pretty sure it's about western Virginia. John Denver had some bangers, but I agree it's not real country.

Wrong. But then again, you always are.
BTW, the road has long since stopped being a "country road".

Right, but west Virginia, and West Virginia are two different things that aren't necessarily discernible through audio.

John Denver was the best

West Virginia is actually north of Virginia so they don’t really exist and shouldn’t be eligible for competition.

But do they burn couches over baseball games?

it's capitalized. 
To Danoff, the lyric "[t]he radio reminds me of my home far away" in the bridge is quintessentially West Virginian, an allusion to when he listened to the program Saturday Night Jamboree, broadcast from Wheeling, West Virginia, on WWVA at his home in Springfield, Massachusetts, during his childhood in the 1950s.[9]
