Best best ballads that refer to a US State

Recently, there was a long discussion focused on the business merits of one US state.  It got me thinking about getting back to music and the ballads that refer to so many great places in the US.  So do you have a list (top 3-5) of favorite ballads that refer to a US state?

My list:
1) California Dreaming,  Mamas & Papas
2) Take Me Home Country Road (Almost heaven, West Virginia), John Denver
3) Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd
4) Please come to Boston (man from Tennessee), Dave Loggins
5) Colder Weather (Colorado), Zak Brown Band

Glen Campbell- By The Time I Get to Phoenix.

Tom Jones - Green Green Grass of Home

Eagles - Take it Easy

Linda Ronstadt - Adios. Look this ballad up if you aren’t familiar with it.  Linda was at her peak vocally(which she stayed at for a long time)

Ran away from home when I was seventeen 

To be with you, on the California coast…
