I will cover Colorado twice:

From Denver to L.A. (Elton Johns)
Colorado Rain (Del Shannon)

Massachusetts:

Please Come to Boston (Dan Fogelberg)

Michigan:

I’ve Got a Girl in Kalamazoo (Glenn Miller)

Alabama (Twice):

Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynrd)
When that Midnight Choo-Choo Leaves for Alabam’ (Collins & Harlan, Judy Garland)
