California Über Alles - I thought the song was silly when it came out, but I liked the riff. And even though they got a detail wrong, they were prophets.

CDB - Sweet Louisiana

"But the women in Ouachita Parish drive a young man up the wall; and it's long way back to Vicksburg; Mississippi River is muddy and wide; but it don't seem like much when Sweet Louisiana is waiting on the other side"

Billy Joel - New York State of Mind


That is 100% a City song...but it might be my favorite song listed!

Because I love NYC

"My Heads In Mississippi"-ZZ Top

I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand
But my head's in Mississippi
I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand
But my head's in Mississippi
The blues has got a hold of me
I believe I'm gettin' dizzy. (Spoken: Help me now.)
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
Lord, I thought I was in Heaven.
I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis,
I thought I was in Heaven.
But I was stumblin' thru the parking lot
Of an invisible seven eleven. (Spoken: What was I doin out there?)
Last night I saw a cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
And last night I saw a naked cowgirl.
She was floatin' across the ceiling.
She was mumblin to some howlin' wolf
About some voodoo healin'. (Spoken: Mmm Baby.)
Where's my head baby?
Somewhere in Mississippi.

If one can overlook the British songwriter’s lyrics placing the Everglades in Louisiana and saying county instead of parish and typhoon instead of hurricane, one of my favorites that hasn’t already been mentioned is Thomas Dolby’s “I Love You Goodbye”.
