Absolutely! I had to put the song in when I thought of it!
When I look South and see the storm clouds roll
On their way to Old Mexico
I don't wanna be alone.
And the rays of light through a Shiner Bock bottle
Make me wanna turn the keys
And put down the throttle
And get lost down 35...
...No matter how big it storms
I know I can find a place that's warm
The sun is shining somewhere in Texas
edit: I've got some Pat Green too! Tomorrow.

So I'll throw out an example of having to use the city name(s) in the lyrics:
Guitar Town - Steve Earle
Hey pretty baby are you ready for me?
I'm your good-rockin' daddy down from Tennessee.
I'm just outta' Austin, 'bout to San Antone
With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on.
Speed trap up ahead, Selma town,
But no local yokel gonna' shut me down.
Cuz me and my boys got this rig around
And we've come a thousand miles from the Guitar Town!
(Great Tune!!!!)

I've Been Everywhere--Hank Snow/Johnny Cash
I was totin my pack along the long dusty Winnamucka road
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
If your goin' to Winnamucka, Mack with me you can ride
And so I climbed into the cab and then I setteled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen! I've traveled every road in this here land!"
Chorus
I've been to:
Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota, Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma, Tampa, Panama, Mattua, LaPaloma, Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo, Tocapillo, Pocatello, Amperdllo
Chorus
I've been to:
Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana, Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texas (County), Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tollaperson, Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa, Tennessee, Tinnesay, Chickapee, Spirit Lake, Grand Lake, Devil's Lake, Crater Lake
Chorus
I've been to:
Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Omerback, Shereville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rock, Richfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport, Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport, Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamondtina, Pasadena, Catalina
Chorus
I’ve been to:
Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelburg, Colorado, Ellisburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado, Larimore, Adimore, Habastock, Chadanocka, Shasta, Nebraska, Alaska, Opalacka, Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City, Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City
Chorus
That's 2 for me...later...

Here you go bluejay!
I do believe I was born in the wrong state (Kansas) to be listening to this type of country, yet it says so much about me.
Southbound 35 - Pat Green
What the hell am I doing up in Kansas City?
I know damn well it ain't where I belong.
I think I'll quit my job come 5 o'clock.
A find my way back home.
Well my baby said just what are you trying to prove here?
You really wanna leave me here all alone?
Said I'm tired of standing here staring at this ocean of heineken drinkin' motherscratchers.
I'd rather be in Texas on my own.
Now we were southbound 35
We were headed down the road
Hit the border, by morning
Let Texas fill my soul.
