     G
A couple guys in first class on a flight
             Bm
From new York to Los Angeles,

Kinda making small talk killing time,
                  C
Flirting with the flight attendants,

30, 000 feet above, could be Oklahoma,
    G
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms,
           Bm
Man it all looks the same,

Miles and miles of back roads and highways,
                   C
Connecting little towns with unknown names,
                        D
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere,


CHORUS:

       G         C
They've never drove through Indiana,
        G
Met the men who plowed that earth,
          D
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me,

      G        C
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas,
         D           C
They'd understand why god made those fly over states


VERSE:

G                                Bm
 I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
                              C
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul

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




CHORUS:
    G       C
On the plains of Oklahoma
       G
Where the windshield sunset in your eyes
    D
Like a watercolor painted sky


      G         C
You'd think heavens doors have opened
         D
You'll understand why god made
     C
Those fly over states

[solo]


    G        C
Take a ride across the badlands
G
Feel that freedom on your face
D
Breathe in all that open space

    G       C
Meet a girl from Amarillo
         G
You'll understand why god made
         C
Why you'd want to plant your stakes
       D
