I Flew Over Our House Last Night Lyrics

Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall
That old Kentucky moon was shining bright as day
The stars were twinkling in the milky way
The pilot said if you look close there's Frankfort on the right
I flew over our house last night
Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep
And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep
So close and yet so far away so wrong and yet so right
I flew over our house last night
For just one second I thought I was back in town
The man your friends all say has only brought you down
The airline hostess asked me sir are you sure that you're alright
I flew over our house last night
Repeat #2
