Jason Isbell Flying over Water From the sky we look so organized and brave ) Walls that make up barricades and graves Daddy's little empire built by hand 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 say for the life of me say why From the sky to highway straight as it could be ) A string pulled tight home from Tennessee Still somehow these bitches took the better part of me From the sky to highway 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? Did we leave our love behind? Did we leave our love behind? Did 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?
