Flying Over Water

From the sky we look so organized and brave


Walls that make up barricades and graves


Daddy's little empire built by hands and built by slaves


From the sky we look so organized and brave

In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt


Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt


If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt


In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt 

Take my hand, baby we're over land


I know flying over water makes you cry


Where's that liquor cart?


Maybe we shouldn't start


But I can't for the life of me say why

From the sky the highway's straight as it could be


A string pulled tight from home to Tennessee


And still somehow those ditches took a better part of me


From the sky the highway's straight as it could be

Take my hand, baby we're over land


I know flying over water makes you cry


Been in the sky so long


Feels like a long way home


But I can't for the life of me say why

Do we leave our love behind?


Would we leave our love behind?


Did we leave our love behind?


Would we leave our love behind?

Take my hand, baby we're over land


I know flying over water makes you cry


Been in the sky so long


Seems like the long way home


But I can't for the life of me say why

Did we leave our love behind?


Did we leave our love behind?
