I'm in Indiana for a conference, and there are not many Indiana songs to choose from. To the best of my knowledge, the cops aren't looking for me.

Maybe I'm over-sentimental, but this daft-but-brilliant song in the form of a letter from a man wanted for murder occasionally makes me cry. It's when R gets to the bit about "you, our home, and our little baby". Damn it.
'Indiana Wants Me' by R. Dean Taylor. #1 hit in 1970 according to Cash Box (#5 according to Billboard). Pretty much ignored by oldies stations.
