A couple of guys in first class on a flight
00:17
From New York to Los Angeles
00:21
Kinda making small talk, killing time
00:23
Flirting with the flight attendants
00:27
Thirty-thousands feet above, could be Oklahoma
00:29
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms
00:35
Man, it all looks the same
00:39
Miles and miles of back roads and highways
00:41
Connecting little towns with funny names
00:44
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere?
00:47
They've never drove through Indiana
00:53
Met a man who plowed that earth
00:59
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
01:01
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
01:06
They'd understand why God made those fly overstates
01:11
I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
01:18
Just like that flat bed cowboy stacking US steel on a three-day haul
01:24
Road and rails under their feet
01:30
Yeah, that sounds like a first class seat
01:32
On the plains of Oklahoma
01:35
With a wind shield sunset in your eyes
01:40
Like a watercolor painted sky
01:44
You'd think heaven's doors have opened
01:47
You'll understand why God made
01:52
Those fly overstates
01:55
02:00
Take a ride across the badlands
02:10
Feel that freedom on your face
02:16
Breathe in all that open space
02:19
Meet a girl from Amarillo
02:22
You'll understand why God made
02:27
Might even want to plant your stakes
02:30
In those fly overstates (yeah)
02:33
02:40
Have you ever been through Indiana
02:51
On the plains of Oklahoma
03:03
03:08
Take a ride
03:15
03:20
