Country singers do it best. My favorite:

Cincinnati, Ohio

Sung by Kitty Wells

One more hour and I'll be home,
Close my eyes and rest my bones.
Can't be more than an hour or so,
From Cincinati, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio

Cincinnati, where the river winds,
'cross the Mason and the Dixon lines!
Heaven waits for me I know,
In Cincinati, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio

Well, I guess perhaps the memory got too strong,
Grabbed me by the heartstrings, and pulled me home,
Got to thinking 'bout some friends I know,
In Cincinati, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Another Army brat. Once of Abeline, Tex. But that was long, long ago.
