Flying Over Water Lyrics - Southeastern - Jason Isbell

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 

Drunken 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 a 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 

Feels like a long way home 

But I can't for the life of me say why 

Do 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?
