Flyover



Levon…Black Dog
Rhiannon…God Bless The Grass
The classic rock
Drifts by as the counties pass

At altitude
No song stays in range for long
They slide away
Just when the signal gets strong

The hopes and dreams and baseball teams
Of these small towns aren’t all they seem

Ohio below
Checkerboard farms laid out neat
Prom Queens, Corn Kings
Seen from thirty thousand feet

Seger…Eagles
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Songs forgotten
Now remembered as you land

The hopes and dreams and baseball teams
Of these small towns aren’t all they seem
