I know the song isn't specifically about Indy, but I couldn't resist - it's the first thing that came to mind.
"God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime..."
Excuse me, but I think you need to listen to the song. Here's a part of the words:
"Indianapolis, Indeed. Indianapolis, Indeed. Wherever I may go, its Indy that calls me to come home to sights and sounds I have known. From the Race to Union Station, the Heart of the Nation, its Indy I used to roam. Indianapolis, Indeed"..........and then she goes on the mention Monument Circle, Market Square (former) and how Hoosiers support their teams and the like. And you are going to tell me the song isnt specifically about Indianapolis?????????????????????? LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. I dont think you are thinking of the same song.
For some smaller cities and towns with songs about or linked to them.
Okie from Muskogee by Merle Haggard
Henryetta, Oklahoma by someone named Marvin Rainwater
Statesboro Blues by Blind Willie McTell (refers to Statesboro, Georgia)

You're right...I wasn't thinking of the song you mentioned at all. I was talking about a different song, the one that has the line about little green apples in it. You misunderstood my repsonse - sorry.
Nice. Good video connections there. Especially like "Lights", although nobody can prove it actually is about SF, but the circumstantial evidence is quite clear!
It's little known, but Yes actually wrote a song about Toledo, Ohio on their album 90125, I forget its name.
And a more well-known song about Allentown, Pennsylvania called "Allentown" by Billy Joel. The song uses Allentown as an archetype for declining mid-sized rust-belt cities, and was likely chosen because of Bethlehem Steel being located there (actually next door in Bethlehem). However, as the song was made in the early 80s, it is largely out of date as Allentown has largely rebounded. (Well, the area as a whole. Inner-city Allentown is still very dangerous).
And although everyone thinks Bruce Springsteen's 2002 song "My City of Ruins" is about New York, it is actually about Asbury Park, NJ.
