SolGrundy: “I was on the road to Athens…” Chickenman , a personal favorite, though I really can’t tell you why. It is classic “Amy Ray goes to Jupiter”. It has to be thier most requested song live, and I used to be one of those people looking around at the masses yelling, “Why the frack are you requesting that???” Now I scream right along with them…must be something in the water
Der, I can’t believe I forgot that one. That was one of my favorites for a while, too. Great concert song, too – any song where you name a town that a good portion of your audience is probably from, causing them to yell like idiots, is a great concert song.
Living in America by James Brown - may not be the title. But it can slip nicely into any one of dozens of city comps…

How bout “Chattahoochie” by Alan Jackson? I hate that redneck shit, but I lived near the title river in Georgia for a while - the state may be mentioned…

Good grief, how old are you and when did you go to Georgia? Highway 316 is not the Atlanta Highway; that’s Broad Street/US 29/US 78, which goes to Atlanta by way of Loganville. Highway 316 hadn’t even been built when the B-52’s lived in Athens, and the song “Love Shack” was a reminiscence of their Athens years.
Furthermore, “Don’t Go Back to Rockville” was on the REM album Reckoning, from 1984, which was years before the Rockfish Palace ever opened.
I think the lyric “Other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly. Still in peaceful dreams I see, the road leads back to you.” is pretty much about a woman, though I agree it could be read either way. IMHO, the “road leading back to a woman” is a pretty common metaphor.
Though I agree, not really relevant. It’s a great song, and should be part of your compilation no matter what it’s referring to. 
“Hard-Hearted Hannah” is an oldie – I think it may go back as far as the 1920s. I’m surprised you never heard it.
“Suwanee River” by Stephen Foster could be considered a Georgia song, since the Suwanee forms the border between Georgia and Florida for much of its length.
“Statesboro Blues” by the Allmans.
Strangely enough, no one has ever made up a song about Valdosta. Not to mention Rising Fawn, Enigma and Talking Rock.
“Macon Whoopie”
What?
Charlie Sexton - Graceland
“I’ve never been to Macon…but I’ve seen a Georgia Peach”
Not many hip-hop or rap fans eh? I may have to find a consultant. I do enjoy the music, I just don’t own much of it and am not very familiar with much beyond the top 40. I do know that Atlanta makes one or two cameo appearances from time to time.
Here’s a couple of twangy gems that no one has mentioned yet:
“I was drivin’ through Georgia in late July…We got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine made from the biggest watermellons on the vine. Help yourself to some, but obey the law. If you drink, don’t drive. Do the watermellon crawl…”
and another that stretches the rules…
"Vidalia, Vidalia
Girl won’t you tell me why
Sweet Vidalia
You always gotta make me cry "
Yee Haw 
whoops, forgot my nods:
Watermellon Crawl, performed by Tracy Byrd, Written by Buddy Brock and Zack Turner.
Vidalia, performed by Sammy Kershaw, Written by Tim Nichols and Mark D. Sanders.
“Georgia Peaches” by Lynyrd Skynyrd
“Honeysuckle Blue” by Drivin’ and Cryin’ (a Georgia band, can’t remember if they’re from Athens, Atlanta, or neither) “Have you ever seen the Blue Ridge Mountains boy, or the Chatahoochee, or the honeysuckle blue, oh-oh-oh!”
Consider me chastened. I’m 31 and lived in Athens from '91 to '95. Hwy 316 was there the whole time I was there, and no less an authority than Ort referred to it as “the Atlanta highway from that song.” (Granted, he was drunk, but c’mon, he’s Ort, so I believed him.)
I’d forgotten that Broad turned into 78 (which runs through Snellville and so on into Atlanta).
Re. the Rockfish, it closed before I got there, and I thought I made clear that I wasn’t sure about that; thanks for the clarification.
Lone Justice “Dixie Storms”.
“…the sweet Georgia rains, made me feel so warm.”
Wow, I can’t believe no one has mentioned it yet:
“Blue Savannah” by Erasure
“Little Georgia Rose” by the Seldom Scene
