Technically, 'amymonkey', it also omits Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri too (though the latter never "officially" left the Union); but you're right, the omission of the Commonwealth of Virginia is a terrible oversight. He barely squeezes in Tennessee with the "Blessed Graceland" line (because everyone in Dixie knows it's "blessed" 'cause it's Jesus' house when Elvis isn't staying there). Short of that it's a great anthem to the South Land!
