I THINK it was by the BoDeans. I'd imagine its a cover tho. Not sure.

It was on that "All The Kings Men" Scotty Moore/DJ Fontana tribute album that came out around 1997, which featured Keith & Ronnie.

If you're gonna cheat, then do a songs earch on www.allmusic.com and just put in the name of the state. I'm sure you'd get one for pretty much all fifty.
