Lyrics

[Verse 1] From the sky, we look so organized and brave Walls that make up barricades and graves Daddy's little empire built by hand and built by slaves From the sky, we look so organized and brave [Verse 2] In the heat, I saw you rising from the dirt A drunk in tears and tugging 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 [Chorus] Take my hand, baby, we're over land I know flying over water makes you cry Where's that liquor cart? Maybe we shouldn't start But I can't for the life of me say why [Verse 3] From the sky, the highway's straight as it could be A string pulled tight from home to Tennessee And still somehow those ditches took the better part of me From the sky, the highway's straight as it could be [Chorus] Take my hand, baby, we're over land I know flying over water makes you cry We been in the sky so long, it seems like the long way home But I can't for the life of me say why [Post-Chorus] Did we leave our love behind? Did we leave our love behind? Did we leave our love behind? Did we leave our love behind? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Take my hand, baby, we're over land I know flying over water makes you cry We been in the sky so long, it seems like the long way home But I can't for the life of me say why [Post-Chorus] Did we leave our love behind? Did we leave our love behind? [Interlude] Thank you Sounds a lot different in here than it does in Dave Cobb's living room That's where we recorded a lot of this Back then it was, it was illegal to have a studio in your house in Nashville So we didn't use a studio, we just used Dave Cobb's living room
