Summary: HELP ME WITH SOME BORDER SONGS!!!

I am in a bit of need.

I hope to get a car soon and would like to have some tapes with songs
which I could play consecutively when crossing state borders. I'd like
to get some help since I am not the most knowledgable person on the
best music tunes to have.

Criteria:
1) Must mention the state, a city in that state, or some other major
geographical feature. (Exceptions are given to odd circumstances in
which the song is appropriate; e.g., Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run"
for New Jersey since the NJ state legislature wanted it to be its
state song.) Basically, any association with the state is needed.

2) Must be fun to listen to. I doubt that there are any songs that
aren't fun to listen to, but the more fun the better.

3) Any additional criteria will be at the discretion of me.


WHAT I HAVE SO FAR:

NC:	"Gone to Carolina"	James Taylor
GA:	"Ramblin' Man"		??? [Need the name]
	"Georgia on my mind"	(Anyone who sings it)
AL:	"Sweet Home Alabama"	???
NJ:	"Born to Run"		Bruce Springsteen
RI:	"Down Easter Alexa"	Billy Joel
MD:	"Rockville"		REM
CA:	"Hotel California"	The Eagles
LA:	"Deep River Woman"	???	[It's my home state.]

Obviously, I need some help, especially in getting some states together.
Those on rec.games.trivia can either mail me or post your suggestions.
Otherwise, I would like to get suggestions mailed. I won't take a vote
tally per se, but I will keep in mind what suggestions there are.

Thanks.

Gorilla for sale

Do you want a cool gorilla you can call your own?
A gorilla to be with you when you're all alone?

Take our advice
At any price
A gorilla like Magilla is mighty nice

Huh??? Seeing as how Hotspur is killed by Prince Hal at the end of Henry IV, 
part one, I knew that this couldn't be right.  Upon further review, the
correct answer is Henry IV, part one.

To be precise: Henry IV, part one, Act IV, scene I (The rebel camp near
               Shrewsbury)

Hotspur:  My father and Glendower being both away
          The powers of us may serve so great a day.

          Doomsday is near; die all, die merrily.
