Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | - | - | - |
| - | - |

[Verse 1]
G
 A couple of guys in first class on a flight
From New York to Los Angeles
Bm
  Kinda making small talk killing time
Flirting with the flight attendants
C
 Thirtythousand feet above,
Am
  could be Oklahoma

[Verse 2]
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 names
Cadd9                             Am
     Who'd want to live down there  in the middle of
  D
nowhere?

[Chorus]
              Em                 Cadd9
They've never drove through Indiana
                      G
Met the men who plowed that earth
Planted that seed,
D                  B7
busted his ass for you and me
         Em                 Cadd9
caught a harvest moon in Kansas
                  D
They'd understand why God made
           Cadd9
Those flyover states

[Verse 3]
G
 I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's
seen it all
Bm
  like that flatbed cowboy stacking U S steel on a 3day
Cadd9
haul
Roads and rails under their feet
Am                        D
  Yeah that sounds like a first class seat

[Chorus]
       Em              Cadd9
On the plains of Oklahoma
                 G
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
       D                 B7
Like a watercolored painted sky
            Em                        Cadd9
You'll think  heaven's doors have opened
                  D
You'll understand why God made
         Cadd9
Those flyover states

[Solo]
Em Cadd9 G D
B7       Em                 Cadd9
  Take a ride across the badlands

[Chorus]
G
Feel that freedom on your face
D                     B7
Breathe in all that open space
           Em               Cadd9
And meet a girl from Amarillo
                  D
You'll understand why God made
                    Cadd9
You might even wanna     plant your stakes
             G
In those fly over states
Yeah

[Outro]
Em Cadd9 G
D              Em                Cadd9
 Have you ever been through Indiana?
G D B7       Em              Cadd9
      On the plains of Oklahoma?
G D       Em
   Take a ride
Cadd9 G D
