lyrics

I can hear the voice of my grandmother
She used to sing at a little church
In some speed trap town you’ve never heard of
Its where I learned to be a bird

Don’t call us fly over country
Cause you don’t know where I’m from
And you don’t know why I’m here
Don’t call us fly over country
Cause you don’t know where I’m from
Let’s both be here while we’re here
And we’ll be gone when we’re gone

My little feet ran on this dock
After long days in the sun, picking rocks
My Dad would shine headlights on the lake
As the water cooled our body aches

Don’t call us fly over country
Cause you don’t know where I’m from
And you don’t know why I’m here
Don’t call us fly over country
Cause you don’t know where I’m from
Let’s both be here while we’re here
And we’ll be gone when we’re gone

And here’s the spot where we’d play catch
Sipping on Mountain Dew
And smelling lilacs
And it doesn’t look much like it now
But that electric fence used to hurt like hell

Don’t call us fly over country
Cause you don’t know where I’m from
And you don’t know why I’m here
Don’t call us fly over country
Cause you don’t know where I’m from
Let’s both be here while we’re here
And we’ll be gone when we’re gone
