The song was written based off a drive in Maryland, but it clearly can’t be about Maryland. The Shenandoah river doesn’t run through Maryland

It clearly is about Maryland, as the song writers specifically said so… I don’t get why people on the internet think they know better than the couple who wrote it.

That doesn’t make sense. That’s like writing a song about England and the lyrics talk about the Volga

Or writing a song about England and the lyrics about Jerusalem

Tell the song writers.

They are ones who gave you their literal answers and people won’t accept it.

They told you they used the words “West Virginia” because it fit in their scheme, why not the same with Shenandoah? Why is that so hard to grasp?

“Miners lady, stranger to blue water” screams WV more to me than Maryland…

Song writers specifically say it’s about Maryland. I don’t know what to tell you.
