More poignant is...

Yes, "Ohio" definitely is but since Kev already mentioned it I went with "Chicago". Thankfully that song didn't have to be as poignant.

Tulsa Time - Eric Clapton

Arrrgh, I can't believe that one didn't spring to mind immediately; it's one of my absolutely favorite Clapton tunes, esp. the live version.
