Two of my favourite, little known songs are Jim Croce's "Walking Back to Georgia" and his "Alabama Rain". One my favorite lines "Gonna take a Southbound. All the way to Georgia" from Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't you see"

Being in Newfoundland at the time, I thought these were quite exotic. Having lived in Georgia for almost 3 years, about half a mile from "That Hot Dusty Macon Road" These songs have gone through my mind many times. I performed "Walkin Back to Georgia" a couple of times at open mike and some of the locals (who weren't paying attention when I gave credit) thought that I had written it. They like the song here by the way.
