... does that John Denver song about West Virginia specifically? The song title doesn't reveal anything.
It is definitely about WV. The line goes something like, "Country road take me home to the place I belong, West Virginia."
Also, what about "Sweet Home Alabama". I guess that is the official state song.
I noticed your current song for Florida is about Panama City Beach. Keg in the Closet by Kenny Chesney also references PCB. Others for Florida: Miami by Will Smith, Gainsville Rock City by Less Than Jake,
I also always thought New York, New York by the Chairman was a showtune? That's of course an obvious choice. If I could manage a whole 50 state list with nothing but quirky indie rock that would be amazing.
Without looking at the link to the Kentucky list, I just thought of
NEIL DIAMOND - KENTUCKY WOMAN
written and recorded by the artist, nonetheless
I should point out that I'm trying to pick songs I actually enjoy listening to. Although I found some very recent entries to my iTunes from mp3 blogs that I'm just beginning to take in (aka Damien Jurardo - Arkansas)

Well, "Sweet Home Alabama" isn't the official state song, but yeah, it pretty much is. But for those who may not know the history, it was actually a response to...wait for it...Neil Young's Alabama (complete with namechecking).
