Fly Over States
Neil Thrasher, Michael William Dulaney
A couple guys in first class on a flight
From New York to Los Angeles
Kinda making small talk killing 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 men 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 long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul
Roads and rails under their feet
Yeah that sounds like a first class seat
On the plains of Oklahoma
Where they windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a watercolor painted sky
You'd 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
Meet a girl from Amarillo
You'll understand why God made
Why you'd want to plant your stakes
In those fly over states
Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride
A couple guys in first class on a flight

Flirting with the flight attendants
Flirten mit den Flugbegleitern
Thirty thousand feet above, could be Oklahoma
Dreißigtausend Fuß über dem Boden, könnte Oklahoma sein
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms
Nur eine Menge quadratischer Maisfelder und Weizenfarmen
Man it all looks the same
Mann, das sieht alles gleich aus
Miles and miles of back roads and highways
Meilen und Meilen von Nebenstraßen und Autobahnen
Connecting little towns with funny names
Verbinden kleine Städte mit lustigen Namen
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere
Wer würde schon dort unten leben wollen, mitten im Nirgendwo
They've never drove through Indiana
Sie sind noch nie durch Indiana gefahren
Met the men who plowed that earth
Haben die Männer getroffen, die diese Erde gepflügt haben
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
Dieses Saatgut gesät, seinen Hintern für dich und mich aufgerissen
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
Oder haben einen Erntemond in Kansas gesehen
They'd understand why God made those fly over states
Sie würden verstehen, warum Gott diese Überflugstaaten geschaffen hat
I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
Ich wette, der Lokführer des kilometerlangen Santa Fe Güterzugs hat schon alles gesehen
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul
Genau wie der Cowboy auf dem Flachbett-LKW, der US-Stahl auf einer 3-Tage-Tour stapelt
Roads and rails under their feet
Straßen und Schienen unter ihren Füßen
Yeah that sounds like a first class seat
Ja, das klingt nach einem Erste-Klasse-Sitz

Aposto que o engenheiro do trem de carga Santa Fe, de uma milha de comprimento, já viu de tudo
