Hornsby was quoted in an interview with the ''Chicago Tribune'' saying that the song was inspired by observations he had made growing up in the Commonwealth of Virginia. "Every year, some rich girl would get involved with some country guy, and they would act irresponsibly and have to deal with the ramifications."〔 When asked why many of his band's songs dealt with socio-political issues, Hornsby replied that "there are some issues that we feel are important, so we write about them...we also like to tell a story, like in "The Valley Road", or paint a picture."〔
