Over
[Verse 1]
Way down there is a little brown square
Where I served since the 10th of December
Down below are some people I know
That I’m now fighting hard to remember
I can’t see any grass, any tree
Any girls getting tanned in the sand I’m flying over
Take that route where the pavement runs out
There’s the door to the truck I was driving
Past that hill, there’s another truck filled
With the guys who are stuck with surviving
Take that turn, you can see it still burn –
You could choke from the smoke in the wind I’m flying over
[Chorus]
I’m flying over, over and over
I’m flying over, over and over
I’m flying over, over and over
Back to you
[Verse 2]
Hey there, Jane, half-asleep on the train –
There’s no way to explain that I’m sorry
Knock on wood, the insurance is good
You can fin’lly afford that Ferrari
We both know how I wanted to go
But I dreamed ev’ry day of the streets I’m flying over
Down there, Jane, once I get off the plane
Just relax when you sign the releases
Don’t be scared – I’ve been cleaned and prepared;
You won’t see how my head was in pieces
Just stay calm and take care of my Mom
And make sure you salute that flag that’s flying over
[Chorus]
I’m flying over, over and over
I’m flying over, over and over
I’m flying over, over and over
Back to you
[Bridge]
Keep crying, Jane, ‘til somebody hears you
Keep crying, Jane, ‘til somebody hears you
Keep crying, Jane, keep crying
Keep crying…
[Guitar Solo]
