The reference to "Ride 'Cross West Virginia In the Backseat of a Cadillac.. You know some Cowboys like me go out like that" is a reference to Hank Williams. He and 17-year-old Charles Carr were driving to a show in Canton, Ohio. Carr had been driving all night and Hank had been drinking heavily and sleeping in the back when they pulled off the road at the Skyline Drive-In in Hilltop West Virginia. It was there that it was discovered Hank Williams had died during the journey.
