The song is considered a symbol of West Virginia. In March 2014, it became one of the four official state anthems of West Virginia. Inspiration for the title line had come while Taffy Nivert and Bill Danoff, who were married, were driving along Clopper Road in Montgomery County, Maryland, to a gathering of Nivert's family in Gaithersburg, with Nivert behind the wheel while Danoff played his guitar. "I just started thinking, country roads, I started thinking of me growing up in western New England and going on all these small roads", Danoff said. "It didn't have anything to do with Maryland or anyplace."
