From the sky we look so organized and brave
Walls that make up barricades and graves
Daddy's little empire built by hand, built by slaves
From the sky we look so organized and brave
In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
Drunk in tears and chugging 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 fly
Where's that liquor cart? Maybe you shouldn't start
But I can't afford a life for me, say why
From the sky, the highway, straight as it could be
The string pulled tight from home to Tennessee
Still somehow those ditches took the better part of me
From the sky, the highway, straight as it could be
Take my hand, baby, we're over land
I know flying over water makes you fly
We've been in the sky so long
It seems like a long way home
But I can't afford a life for 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?
Did we leave our love behind?
Take my hand, baby, we're over land
I know flying over water makes you cry
Yeah
We've been in the sky so long
It seems like a long way home
But I can't afford to lie for me
Say why
Did we leave our love behind
Did we leave our love behind
Thank y'all very much. Thank you guys so much.
