Ronnie Milsap's "Smoky Mountain Rain" mentions Gatlinburg, too.

Anyone who has ever lived in Calgary totally gets this classic by a Canadian legend:

Rockies Turn Rose -- Ian Tyson

But time has gone and slipped away,
And every highway highway I chose,
Took me further from the sunrise,
Where the Rockies turn rose.
But someday I'll find that Calgary girl,
Where the Rockies turn rose.

The whole song is a flashback while he's lying "wide awake in a west side Fort Worth motel." It doesn't get any more country than that!
