We Southerners have a sense of place that is part of our inherited tradition. We even write songs about our places. Ever heard Lynyrd Skynyrd sing about "Sweet Home Alabama," or Ray Charles? soulful rendition of "Georgia On My Mind?" Sure you have. But why are there no heartfelt songs about Massachusetts or Minnesota?
Are there any such songs about states from the other side of the Mason-Dixon Line?
Edit: Other songs that come to mind
Tennessee Waltz
Yellow Rose of Texas
Stars Fell on Alabama
Kentucky Rain
Oklahoma
Mississippi Blues
Louisiana Rain
My Home's in Alabama
The Devil Went Down to Georgia
The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
Rainy Night in Georgia
Mississippi Queen
Mississippi Women, Louisiana Men
Louisiana Saturday Night
Tennessee River
Blame it on Texas
