Songs of States

I had another idea for a good playlist in iTunes (it'd be too big for muxtape.com). It's a list of 50 or so songs that all have to do with States. Each state needs to be represented at least once, but more is fine, too.

I have a good list going right now, with 39 songs. But I seem to be missing a lot of states.

Is there a song on here that shouldn't be because it's too obvious or not really about a state? Have I missed your state? Do you know of a good song that I can replace or add? Give it to me.
