Jason Aldean – Fly Over States Song Words
A couple guys in first class on a flight
From New York to Los Angeles
Kinda making small talk, killin’ 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 man who plowed that earth
Planted the 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 engineers seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy
Stacking US Steel on a three-day haul
Roads 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 watercolored painted sky
You’ll 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 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
“That Way” lyrics are provided by Geniusbeauty.com
Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride
