Jason Aldean – Fly Over States Lyrics

A couple guys in first class on a flight
From New York to Los Angeles
Kinda making small talk killin’ time
Flirting with the flight attendants
Thirty thousand feet above, could be OklahomaJust a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms
Man, it all looks the same
Miles and miles of back roads and highways
Connecting little towns with funny names
Who’d want to live down there, in the middle of nowhere

They’ve never drove through Indiana
Met the man who plowed that earth
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
They’d understand why God made
Those fly over states

I bet that mile long Santa Fe
Freight train engineer’s seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy
Stacking US Steel on a three day haul
Roads and rails under their feet
Yeah, that sounds like a first class seat

On the plains of Oklahoma
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a watercolored painted sky
You’ll think heavens doors have opened
You’ll understand why God made
Those fly over states

Take a ride across the badlands
Feel that freedom on your face
Breathe in all that open space
Meet a girl from Amarillo
You’ll understand why God made
You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states

Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride

A couple guys in first class on a flight
From New York to Los Angeles
Kinda making small talk killin’ time
Flirting with the flight attendants
Thirty thousand feet above, could be Oklahoma

Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms
Man, it all looks the same
Miles and miles of back roads and highways
Connecting little towns with funny names
Who’d want to live down there, in the middle of nowhere

They’ve never drove through Indiana
Met the man who plowed that earth
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
They’d understand why God made
Those fly over states

I bet that mile long Santa Fe
Freight train engineer’s seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy
Stacking US Steel on a three day haul
Roads and rails under their feet
Yeah, that sounds like a first class seat

On the plains of Oklahoma
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a watercolored painted sky
You’ll think heavens doors have opened
You’ll understand why God made
Those fly over states

Take a ride across the badlands
Feel that freedom on your face
Breathe in all that open space
Meet a girl from Amarillo
You’ll understand why God made
You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states

Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride

> caedmon’s call – “ten thousand angels” lyrics

Ten Thousand Angels is an older song written by Derek Webb’s wife Sandra McCracken. Here are the lyrics to the song.

Ten Thousand Angels

how long you have traveled in darkness weeping
no rest in language, no words to speak
but there in the wreckage beneath bricks and bindings
love has come, love has come for you

against the night sky of your waiting
your face is like starlight when he walks in
everything worth keeping comes through dying
love has come, love has come for you

so lift up your heart now, to this unfolding
all that has been broken will be restored
here runs deep waters for all who are thirsty
love has come, love has come for you

ten thousand angels will light your pathway
until the day breaks fully in the East
they will surround you and make your way straight
love has come, love has come for you
love has come, love has come for you

> hawk nelson – lyrics to “friend like that”

I found the lyrics to “Friend Like That” at www.lyricscafe.com

Friend Like That – Hawk Nelson

I like it simple and
I’m not a superman
I never said that I was more than that
I’m not a wanna be
I’m who I wanna be
And I intend to be
How you created me

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I’m not the only one who feels like this
I’ve got a few others around me
Hey!

Hey, let me hear you say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey, if you’ve got a friend like that
Hey, let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ about
Anybody got a friend like that?

I once was little and
I always had a plan
You thought my friendliness was just an act
I’ll be your friend indeed
And you can count on me
And I can guarantee
Your friend I’ll always be

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I’m not the only one who feels like this
I’ve got a few others around me
Hey!

Hey, let me hear you say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey, if you’ve got a friend like that
Hey, let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ about
Anybody got a friend like that?

Does anyone out there feel alone?
Can anyone hear me? (whoa, whoa)
Down and out your heart is cold
It’s never easy (whoa,whoa)
But if you believe that there is hope
Then sing it with me

Hey, let me hear you say
Make some noise if you feel this way
Hey, if you’ve got a friend like that
Hey, let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ about
Anybody got a friend like that?

Hey, let me hear you say
Does anybody feel this way?
Hey, if you’ve got a friend like that
Hey, let’s scream and shout
If you know what I’m talkin’ about
Anybody got a friend like that?

I, I need somebody on the inside
I, I want somebody who can set me free
I’m not the only one who feels like this
I’ve got a few others around me
Hey, Hey!
