G   Gadd9  ||x4


Verse 1
G
 A couple guys in first class on a 
flight from new York to Los Angeles
Bm
 Kinda making small talk killin 
time, flirtin with the flight 
attendants,
C                          Am
 Thirty thousand feet above, could 
be Oklahoma,
G
Just a bunch of square cornfields 
and wheat farms, man it all looks 
the same
Bm
 Miles and miles of back roads and 
highways,
Connecting little towns with funny 
     C
names,
                             Am    
Who'd want to live down there in 
                D
the middle of nowhere,


Chorus
               Em                C
They've never drove through Indiana,
                  G
Met the men who plowed that earth,
Continues after the ad
                    D            
Planted that seed, busted his ass 
      B7
for you and me,
             Em                C
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas,
                    D              
They'd understand why God made 
      C
those fly over states


Verse 2
G                            
 I bet that mile long Santa Fe 
freight train engineer's seen it 
Bm
all
Just like that flatbed cowboy 
stacking U.S. steel on a three day 
 C
haul

Road and rails under their feet
Am                        D
 Yeah that sounds like a first class
 seat


Chorus
         Em           C
On the plains of Oklahoma
             G
With a windshield sunset in your 
eyes
        D                B7
Like a watercolor painted sky
           Em                 
You'd think heavens doors have 
 C
opened
                    D              
You'll understand why God made 
      C
those fly over states

Chorus
        Em               C       
Take a ride across the badlands feel
G
 that freedom on your face
   D                B7
Breathe in all that open space
        Em           C         
Meet a girl from Amarillo you'll 
              D
understand why God made
                  C                
Might even want to plant your 
               G
stakes in those fly over states
