Conquer Club

I think we all know songs that refer to certain US state as their main theme. Can we find a song representing each state?
You can post another song about a same state if it's really better! I'll update the OP, if you think you've got a better song for a given state it can be switched!

Not really "about" the state, but....classic song...title fits OP...

Neil's Ohio

Neil's Ohio

reminds me that the french actress Isabelle Adjani (who is gorgeous by the way) made a song about Ohio in the 80's, but I think that Neil Young wins the Ohio caucus!

i could have written 3 posts with one song each or one post with 3 songs. The latter seemed less spammy in my mind. Don't tell me I could only pick one because music's meant to be heard not picked between in a one out of three contest. It was already difficult enough to choose between the Allman Brothers version and the Blind Willie Mctell version.

I was also thinking "I wonder what songs there are about Alaska." This is the first one I stumbled upon:

Sweet home Alabama

and 'Idaho' is a song by Anita Meijer

California
Joni Mitchell

&

Ohio
The Pretenders

&

Tennessee Stud
Doc Watson

The rules dictated by the OP demand spammy. RULES MUST BE FOLLOWED.

I can't color inside the lines either.

I didn't know that tune, but I like it. replacing the dandy warhols for minnesota!

New Mexico Song - Johnny Hobo

Blue moon of Kentucky - Bill Monroe

Take Me Back to Old Wyoming by Chris LeDoux

My Old Kentucky Home ... this version because there are several attractive drunk young women, plus the TV crew put their only field mic right in front of an out-of-tune lady who can't remember half the words and is a full verse behind the whole time, plus Mr. Hot Stuff tries to escape once they hit the high notes.



Announcer: So, the crowd and the band unnerved Mr. Hot Stuff ...

already taken by the blue moon of kentuky! you need people to post in here that they prefer your song to win the caucus! :p
if you give me a song about a state that still has none you're sure to win though!

Stephen Stills:

I am a man I live alone
Don't much bother me it won't be long
Come a woman who wants to be near
Me and my mountains, we'll be right here
Colorado

Way back east in the dirt and smog
Courted a woman she had a job
Didn't want to leave her adopted home
Guess she was afraid of bein' alone in
Colorado

Way out yonder in tinsel land
Look around hard you might find a real man
Dark-eyed country girl, tears in her eyes
Needs the music of the wind in the pines
Colorado

Many's the time I've gone astray
The things I'm thinkin' I seldom say
Guess I'm waitin' for that special girl
The one who loves me and loves my world
Colorado
Colorado
