jason isbell - flying over water (live) lyrics

Loading...

[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
