fly overstates

Couple guys in first class on a flight from New York to Los Angeles
有兩個坐飛機從紐約飛往洛杉磯的頭等艙乘客
Kinda making small talk, killin time, flirtin with the flight attendants
他們談天說地，消磨時間，還和空姐打情罵俏

飛機正在俄克拉荷馬州三千尺上空
Thirty thousand feet above what would be Oklahoma
放眼望去到處都是玉米小麥的田野，看上去都一樣

還有連綿不絕的小路和高速公路聯繫著不知名的小鎮
Just a bunch of square corn fields and wheat farms, man it all looks the same
誰想生活在這裡，荒無人煙的地方

他們從未開車經過印第安納州
Miles and miles of back roads and highways connecting little towns and fun & games
遇到那些耕種的農民

他們播撒著種子，為了你我而辛勤勞作
Whod wanna live down there, in the middle of nowhere
或是在堪薩斯州眺望滿月

否則他們就會理解為何上帝要創造這樣的飛越之地
Theyve never drove through Indiana
我猜那位聖達菲貨運火車司機已看過這裡全部的景色

就和那位連續三天運送美國鋼鐵的卡車司機一樣
Been the man who plowed that Earth
公路和鐵路在他們腳下，聽上去就像是頭等艙座位

在那俄克拉荷馬州的平原上
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
你能透過擋風玻璃欣賞日落夕陽

那天空美得好似水彩畫
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
你會以為天堂的大門已經敞開

你就會理解為何上帝要創造這樣的飛越之地
Or theyd understand why God made those fly over states
開車駛過那片荒野之地

感受撲面而來的自由之風
I bet that mile haul in Santa Fe freight train engineers seen it all
在空曠的大自然盡情呼吸

邂逅一位德州女孩
Just like that flat bed cowboy stacking US steel on a three day haul
你就會理解上帝為何要

你甚至還想要生活下去
Roads and rails under their feet, yeah that sounds like a first class seat
在這片飛越之地

你是否去過印第安納州？
On the plains of Oklahoma
在那俄克拉荷馬州的平原上

駕車飛馳
With a windshield sunset in your eyes

Like a water-color painted sky

Youll think heavens doors have opened

Youll 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

And meet a girl from Amarillo

Youll understand why God made...

You might even wanna plant your stakes

In those fly over states Yeah

Have you ever been through Indiana

On the plains of Oklahoma

Take a ride
