Lyrically Speaking - 1/31/24

The LSWE's second edition of Rockin' in the USA takes a little trip to Dixieland...
Each of the songs below comes from a solo artist who was raised in, or a group that was formed in one of the states you see above... and is generally associated with a city in my arbitrarily defined South territory. Don't like it? Well, then bless your heart...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 0 points for the state...
1. Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
2. If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
3. I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothin' to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way
4. Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
5. How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
6. If you are confused, check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
7. My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
8. With a little love and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water
We'll rise above the mess
9. Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
10. Well, you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
11. When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
12. Girl, girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
