Fly Over States Lyrics

Jason Aldean - Fly Over States
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,
Thirty thousand 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 men 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 U.S. steel on a three day haul
Road and rails under their feet
Yeah that sounds like a first class seat
On the plains of Oklahoma
Where the windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a watercolor painted sky
You'd think heavens doors have opened
You'll understand why God made Those fly over states
Solo Em |C |G |D B7 ||
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
Why you'd want to plant your stakes In those fly over states
Int Em |C |G |D ||
Have you ever been through Indiana,
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride
