Jason Aldean-Fly Over States lyrics

Jason Aldean 
Fly Over States lyrics


Songwriters: DULANEY, MICHAEL WILLIAM / THRASHER, NEIL




A couple guys in first class on a flight 
From new York to Los Angeles, 
Kinda making small talk killing time, 
Flirting with the flight attendants, 
30, 000 feet above, could be Oklahoma, 
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms, 
Man it all looks the same, 
Miles and miles of back roads and highways, 
Connecting little towns with funny names, 
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of 


nowhere, 


They've never drove through Indiana, 
Met the man who plowed that earth, 
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me, 
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas, 
They'd understand why god made those fly over states, 


I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's


seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 


3-day haul
Road and rails under their feet
Yeah that sounds like a first class seat


On the plains of Oklahoma 
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a watercolor painted sky
Where like a water color painted sky


You'd think heavens doors have opened
You'll understand why god made 
Those fly over states


Take a ride across the badlands
Feel that freedom on your face
Breathe in all that open space
Meet a girl from Amarillo
You'll understand why god made 
You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states, yeah


Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride
