flying over water (demo) - jason isbell lyrics

[intro]
“flying over water”

[verse 1]
from the sky we look so organized and brave
walls that make up barricades and graves
daddy’s little empire built by hands 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
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

[post*chorus]
did we leave our love behind?
would we leave our love behind?
did we leave our love behind?
would we leave our love behind?
[verse 3]
from the sky, the highway’s straight as it could be
a string pulled tight from here 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
been in the sky so long, 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?
would we leave our love behind?
did we leave our love behind?
would we leave our love behind?
