From the sky we look so organized and brave
â¨Walls that make up barricades and graves
â¨Daddy's little empire built by hands and built by slaves
â¨From the sky we look so organized and brave
â¨â¨In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt
â¨Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt
â¨If only you could tell me then what part of you got hurt
â¨In the heat I saw you rising from the dirt â¨
â¨Take my hand, baby we're over land
â¨I know flying over water makes you cry
â¨Where's that liquor cart?
â¨Maybe we shouldn't start
â¨But I can't for the life of me say why
â¨â¨From the sky the highway's straight as it could be
â¨A string pulled tight from home to Tennessee
â¨And still somehow those ditches took a better part of me
â¨From the sky the highway's straight as it could be
â¨â¨Take my hand, baby we're over land
â¨I know flying over water makes you cry
â¨Been in the sky so long
â¨Feels like a long way home
â¨But I can't for the life of me say why
â¨â¨Do we leave our love behind?
â¨Would we leave our love behind?
â¨Did we leave our love behind?
â¨Would we leave our love behind?
â¨â¨Take my hand, baby we're over land
â¨I know flying over water makes you cry
â¨Been in the sky so long
â¨Seems like the long way home
â¨But I can't for the life of me say why
â¨â¨Did we leave our love behind?
â¨Did we leave our love behind?
