[length: 03:58]
[00:06.21]From the sky, we look so organized and brave
[00:12.64]Walls that make up barricades and graves
[00:18.63]Daddy’s little empire, built by hands and built by slaves
[00:24.21]From the sky, we look so organized and brave
[00:33.36]In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
[00:40.06]Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt
[00:45.95]If only you could tell me then, what part of you got hurt
[00:51.51]In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
[00:58.07]Take my hand, baby, we’re over land
[01:03.42]I know flying over water makes you cry
[01:09.49]Where’s that liquor cart?
[01:12.43]Maybe we shouldn’t start
[01:15.93]But I can’t for the life of me say why
[01:20.71]
[01:23.38]
[01:33.87]From the sky, the highway’s straight as it could be
[01:40.69]A string pulled tight from home to Tennessee
[01:46.90]Still somehow, those ditches took a better part of me
[01:52.71]From the sky, the highway’s straight as it could be
[01:59.32]Take my hand, baby, we’re over land
[02:04.82]I know flying over water makes you cry
[02:11.00]Been in the sky so long
[02:13.99]Seems like a long way home
[02:17.76]But I can’t for the life of me say why
[02:23.36]Do we leave our love behind?
[02:29.34]Would we leave our love behind?
[02:35.51]Did we leave our love behind?
[02:41.47]Would we leave our love behind?
[02:48.08]
[03:15.61]Take my hand, baby, we’re over land
[03:20.72]I know flying over water makes you cry
[03:26.74]Been in the sky so long
[03:29.84]Seems like the long way home
[03:33.31]But I can’t for the life of me say why
[03:38.65]Did we leave our love behind?
[03:44.98]Did we leave our love behind?
