Folsom Prison Blues mentions two cities. My favorite line - But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

I don't think I can even name all the songs I love that reference a city or state, there has to e thousands.

I'll just go with the first thing that popped into my head and say Angeles by Elliott Smith
