All I know is that everyone I know who actually lives near the river or the

Virginia instead of Western Virginia..and just because a songwriter
misplaces a geographical location

The song is clearly about West Virginia. It's that songwriter used
geographical features that for the most part, are not in West Virginia -
unless they've been moved in the last 30 years. I'm a songwriter.
Sometimes we take license with stuff like that for the sake of the song.

I do not understand your point. What does 'for the most part, are
not in West Virginia' actually mean? The places mentioned in the song
are in West Virginia.
'For the most part', the Mississippi River is not in Louisiana, does
that mean if someone wrote a song about the Mississippi River and

Look at a map. He did not misplace any geographical location, nor did
the river move. Those places ARE in West Virginia. Its not like he is
singing about the Colorado River and the Rocky Mountains being in West
Virginia.

The fact that we all are constantly learning to stay working much more
than five hours a day must mean we're all greedy in your eyes.
They do say happiness is bliss.

ago when the work was winding down. If I took it I would have

Wow. You don't think being happy with your life, whether garbage man,

Garbageman is either an under achiever or no other options. Many
people like non-thinking jobs. Not me.
The longshorman job I was talking about was a do-no-work job since all
the work moved out of NYC. Read the paper, play cards and cash the
check.

I don't think 'Rocky Mountain High' is about Colorado. I mean, he
mentions Colorado in the song, but for the most part, the Rockies are
not in Colorado. I am pretty sure the song is actually about Montana,
he just took soem poetic license with the lyrics.
