歌词
Couple guys in first class on a flight from New York to Los Angeles
有两个坐飞机从纽约飞往洛杉矶的头等舱乘客
Kinda making small talk, killin' time, flirtin' with the flight attendants
他们谈天说地，消磨时间，还和空姐打情骂俏
飞机正在俄克拉荷马州三千尺上空
Thirty thousand feet above what would be Oklahoma
放眼望去到处都是玉米小麦的田野，看上去都一样
还有连绵不绝的小路和高速公路联系着不知名的小镇
Just a bunch of square corn fields and wheat farms, man it all looks the same
谁想生活在这里，荒无人烟的地方
他们从未开车经过印第安纳州
Miles and miles of back roads and highways connecting little towns and fun & games
遇到那些耕种的农民
他们播撒着种子，为了你我而辛勤劳作
Who'd wanna live down there, in the middle of nowhere
或是在堪萨斯州眺望满月
否则他们就会理解为何上帝要创造这样的飞越之地
They've never drove through Indiana
我猜那位圣达菲货运火车司机已看过这里全部的景色
就和那位连续三天运送美国钢铁的卡车司机一样
Been the man who plowed that Earth
公路和铁路在他们脚下，听上去就像是头等舱座位
在那俄克拉荷马州的平原上
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me
你能透过挡风玻璃欣赏日落夕阳
那天空美得好似水彩画
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas
你会以为天堂的大门已经敞开
你就会理解为何上帝要创造这样的飞越之地
Or they'd understand why God made those fly over states
开车驶过那片荒野之地
感受扑面而来的自由之风
I bet that mile haul in Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all
在空旷的大自然尽情呼吸
邂逅一位德州女孩
Just like that flat bed cowboy stacking US steel on a three day haul
你就会理解上帝为何要
你甚至还想要生活下去
Roads and rails under their feet, yeah that sounds like a first class seat
在这片飞越之地
你是否去过印第安纳州？
On the plains of Oklahoma
在那俄克拉荷马州的平原上
驾车飞驰
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a water-color painted sky
You'll think heaven's doors have opened
You'll understand why God made those fly over states
Take a ride across the Badlands
Feel that freedom on your face
Breathe in all that open space
And meet a girl from Amarillo
You'll understand why God made...
You might even wanna plant your stakes
In those fly over states Yeah
Have you ever been through Indiana
On the plains of Oklahoma
Take a ride
