My Grandfather was in WW2 and was based out of RAF Polebrook in England. He said Vera Lynn performed at the base and sang "Stars" for the Americans ... two days before his first mission. Said he'd never felt so homesick in his life. That song holds a special place.

Johnny Cash was quoted as saying the song is about Jackson, Tennessee, where Carl Perkins lived.

Most songs about Alabama just focus on the state, rarely any specific town.

Obviously it’s Calling Baton Rouge by Garth Brooks.
If you want a lesser known song about Baton Rouge there’s “Louisiana Saturday Night” by a local and The Benny Davis Project LINK
