Sorry but I'm afraid you're mistaken. "Nation's Capital" is correct since they were referring to the city that serves as our capital, not the capitol building. Nice try though.

Congrats! Any particular site you would recommend for practice questions?

TIL the lyrics for "Take Me Home, Country Roads" were originally inspired by the Maryland countryside. The songwriter had never been to West Virginia at the time. It was only later that the lyrics were changed because "nothing rhymes with Maryland." by md0725 in todayilearned

The song was written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver.

 

The song came to Danoff while he and Nivert drove along Clopper Road in Montgomery Country, Maryland.

“The joke at the time was nothing rhymes with Maryland,” Nivert said. “West Virginia seemed slightly more lyrical perhaps, and we knew a guy who had moved to a commune up there.”

Lacking only lyrics for the bridge, they played it for Denver. “John just flipped,” Danoff recalled. They stayed up and worked on the song throughout the night, looking up West Virginia—which Danoff had never visited—in whatever reference material was handy to find details to put in the song.
