-VERSE-

G
A couple guys in first class on a flight,
                                       Bm
From New York to Los Angeles.

Kinda making small talk killing time,
                                                  
Flirting with the flight attendants.
 C                            Am
30, 000 feet above, could be Oklahoma.



G              
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms,
                                  Bm
Man it all looks the same.

Miles and miles of back roads and highways,

Connecting little towns with unknown names.
C                                             Am                        D
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere.

-CHORUS-

                                Em                  C
They've never drove through Indiana.
                                        G
Met the men who plowed that earth, 
                               D                                        Bm7  
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me.


                        Em                    C
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas,
                                D                                      C
They'd understand why God made those fly over states.

-VERSE-

G                                                                                           Bm
I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all.
                                                                                                 C
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking US steel on a 3-day haul.

Road and rails under their feet,
Am                              D
Yeah that sounds like a first class seat.

-CHORUS-

Em                                 C
On the plains of Oklahoma.
                       G                                 
With the windshield sunset in your eyes.
                    D                    Bm7
Like a water  color painted sky.


     Em                                               C
You'd think heavens doors have opened.
                              D
You'll understand why God made,
                     C
Those fly over states.

-VERSE-

Em ~                             C ~
Take a ride across the badlands.

Feel that freedom on your face.
D ~                                        Bm 7~
Breathe in all that open space.


Em                              C
Meet a girl from Amarillo.
                            D
You'll understand why god made.
                                C
Why you'd want to plant your stakes,
                                 D (or Dsus4 )
In those fly over states.

Em                                    C   G   D
On the plains of Oklahoma.

Take a ride.
