"DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco too
Everywhere there's music, real live music
Bands with a million styles
But It's still that same old rock and roll music
That really really drives 'em wild"

- Huey Lewis and the News

The Beaches of Cheyenne (Garth Brooks)
Statesboro Blues (Taj Majal)
Leaving Las Vegas (Sheryl Crow)
Tallahassee Lassie (Freddy Cannon)
Time Spent in Los Angeles (Dawes)

There are a lot of songs about LA, though most don’t name it in the title.

First thing that came to mind?

Walking in Memphis- Marc Cohn

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

I used this version because it's more known to everybody than the Ian Hunter version.
