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 and fun & games
Who’d wanna live down there, in the middle of nowhere
They’ve never drove through Indiana Been the man
who plowed² that Earth Planted that seed,
busted³ his ass¹ for you and me Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
Or 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
Yeah Have you ever been through Indiana On the plains of Oklahoma Take a ride
