Airplanes in Arkansas

(Let me tell you about home)

suns comin up on the northbound road,

dust kickin" up where the red dirt glows.

i hear a jet high above the pines,

like a wild old heartbeat keepin time.

trucks roll out and the day begins,

but im looking to the sky where the steel birds spin.

(electric guiter solo) (build up)

sky trails over Arkansas, drifting high and drifting wide,

airplanes humming softly as they cross the countryside.

from the river valley sunrise to the Ozarks standing in the fall,

there's a story in the heavens with those sky trails over Arkansas.

Dusty roads lead to nowhere fast

But those planes they ain't tied to the past

Freedom hums in their roaring song

Pulls my heartstrings all day long

The clouds don't care who you are

The perfect pillows for my heart

(Electric guitar solo) (yeahhh)

sky trails over Arkansas, drifting high and drifting wide,

airplanes humming softly as they cross the countryside.

from the river valley sunrise to the Ozarks standing in the fall.

there's a story in the heavens with those sky trails over Arkansas.

lightning cracks on the long dirt road,

but those wings still shine like a hero's code.

and every time they cut through the southern sky, i feel that freedom get me high.

sky trails over Arkansas, drifting high and drifting wide,

airplanes humming softly as they cross the countryside.

from the river valley sunrise to the Ozarks standing in the fall.

there's a story in the heavens with those sky trails over Arkansas.

over Arkansas.

(over good ole arkansas) (yeah baby)
