The entire Sufjan Stevens album "Come on Feel the Illinoise"

On Johnny Cash's album "RIDE THIS TRAIN," the introduction to
the song "When Papa Played the Dobro" not only mentions my home state but even my home town (!): Chester, South Carolina.

[Chester is just a small southern town, but many of the scenes in the TV
mini-series "Chiefs" (starring Charlton Heston) were filmed there.]

I can't think of any about louisiana haha :lol:

I am sure there's lots more, but the only one I could think of right now is the theme from "New York, New York" with Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennet.

There may not be enough songs with state names in the titles, but there are place and city names. Mine are, for Washington State:

Seattle--PiL
Rock'n Me--Steve Miller Band ("I've been through Arizona on my way to Tacoma..." Steve Miller is a local resident.)
"The skies you ever seen are in Seattle"--Perry Como
Jet City Woman--Queensryche (Jet City is the nickname for Seattle, the song was released when Seattle was still the HQ for Boeing.)
Overblown--Mudhoney (the song, about the hyped-up grunge scene in Seattle in the early 90's, doesn't mention Seattle by name, but it's clear their talking out the town.)

Massachusetts
~Bee Gees

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,
Something's telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.

Talk about the life in Massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.

I will remember Massachusetts...

Beautiful Ohio- I think this is the state song
Down By The Ohio
Banks of Ohio- Joan Baez
