Was just thinking you could almost have en entire thread of Ryan Adam's songs that have an American place in the title or talk about an American place. Some others (including songs he did with Whiskeytown)...

Oh My Sweet Carolina
Tennessee Sucks
My Blue Manhattan
Carolina Rain
Jacksonville
Off Broadway
Oklahoma
Jacksonville Skyline

Also, he has quite a few songs that mention the color blue.
