Fly Over States Lyrics
Couple guys in first class on a flight from New York to Los Angeles
Kinda making small talk, killin' time, flirtin' with the flight attendants
Thirty thousand feet above what would be Oklahoma
Just a bunch of square corn fields 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 wanna 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 haul in Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
Just like that flat bed 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 water-color painted sky
You'll think heaven's 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
And meet a girl from Amarillo
You'll understand why God made... You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states
Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride
Kinda making small talk, killin' time, flirtin' with the flight attendants
Thirty thousand feet above what would be Oklahoma
Miles and miles of back roads and highways connecting little towns with funny names Who'd wanna live down there, in the middle of nowhere?
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
Just like that flat bed cowboy stacking US steel on a three day haul
Roads and rails under their feet, yeah that sounds like a first class seat
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a water-color painted sky
You'll think heaven's doors have opened
You'll understand why God made those fly over states
Feel that freedom on your face
Breathe in all that open space
And meet a girl from Amarillo
You'll understand why God made... You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride

I've seen a harvest moon in Kansas, then again i live in Kansas
Ive been thru Indiana. Besides the fact I live in Indiana but I've been thru Indiana a lot of times
This is America, a song about America, and written by an American whose religious beliefs is that of the Christian faith. Why is the lyrics "God" not capitalized in the lyrics posted on this website?
The mean to this song is don't judge a book by its color otherwise meaning if you don't know a place and your just looking at it from above go visit it talk to the people who know you might enjoy it I was born and raise California but I visited a small town in South Dakota and I loved it people were amazing and Kind I moved there for a year and wanna go back and the people that farm they may look broke but if they have a good crop season well y'all would know they have money coming in and have extra beside of my experience with these people if you don't take a step out of your comfort zone you'll never know what other places are like.
