There are, but there are horrible shunts of historical license. The popular song Convoy somehow convolutes the D-day battle ( The darkened moon on the sixth of June) with of all things the Battle of Hamel ( which was literally fought on the Fourth of July- because we had 85 trucks in all- the Battle of Hamel involved 85 RA Mark V tanks!- but from there it is involved with a trucking job action. There are other distortions in such historical songs as Battle of New Orleans, Indiana Wants me, a gangster type thing, and others. Folk songs are not noted for historical accuracy!- which is understating things.
There is a song called "Cassie" by a band called Flyleaf (I do not own any of it). There might be other songs about Cassie, but this is the only one I have heard of.
Cassie was a normal highschooler (I think. It might be middle school or college, I'm not certain). There were this group of kids that decided to have a school shooting, testing everybody's faith in God by asking, "Do you believe in God?" If they said no, they would not be killed. If they said yes, you would be killed. (Obviously, I don't think the shooters believed in God).
Cassie was (I think!) hiding under a table in the library. A shooter asked her if she believed in God, and Cassie said yes. Cassie was very noble to give up her life for God. Her mother wrote an biography on Cassie's life, and many news articles are found on the internet about her and the shooting (search "Cassie believes in God" or something like that).
-R.I.P Cassie-
Here is the chorus to "Cassie" by Flyleaf (I DO NOT OWN ANY OF IT!):
Do you believe in God?
Was written on the bullet,
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God?
Was written on the bullet,
And Cassie pulled the trigger.
Answer"Hurricane" by Bob Dylan is a protest song about the imprisonment of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. Dylan's lyrics depict Carter as an innocent man who was railroaded into a conviction by a racist criminal justice system.
However, Dylan drew a lot of harsh criticism for this song, for his alleged "distortion of the facts." It seems that the evidence actually points very strongly towards Carter's guilt (see the Related Link below).

Yes, the lyrics to the song are true.
