Flying over Water - Live

Lyrics

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
 Drunk, in 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 the 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, seems like the long way home
 But I can't for the life of me say why
 Did 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?
