Reba McEntire's, "Little Rock"
The Lyrics:
Oh little rock, think I'm gonna have to slip you off.

Reba McEntire's, "No U in Oklahoma"
The Lyrics:
You put the T for tears in Texas
S for sad in St. Louis
Our reckless travels led us
To the state of Missouri
I cried clear 'cross Carolina
'Bout some bar in Tennessee
There's no U in Oklahoma
And that's okay with me
We tried KC, Fort Worth, Reno
Cheyenne, Timbuktu
Somewhere down round Tupelo
My daddy's words rang true
S for sad in St. Louis
Our reckless travels led us
To the state of Missouri
I cried clear 'cross Carolina
'Bout some bar in Tennessee
There's no U in Oklahoma
And that's okay with me
We tried KC, Fort Worth, Reno
Cheyenne, Timbuktu
Somewhere down round Tupelo
My daddy's words rang true
Why:
the US states of Texas, Missouri, (North or South) Carolina, Tennessee, and Oklahoma; also, a place referred to by the initials KC (Kansas City, perhaps), and the cities of Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nevada; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Timbuktu; and Tupelo, Mississippi
