I forgot my ‘frigerator was avocado - what?
— Blake Shelton
Jason Aldean- Fly Over States
I bet that mile-long Santa Fe
Freight train engineer’s seen it all
Just like that flatbed cowboy
Stacking U.S. steel on a three day haul
Roads and rails under their feet
Yeah, that sounds like a first class seat
On the plains of Oklahoma
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a watercolored painted sky
You’ll think Heaven’s doors have opened
You’ll understand why God made
Those fly over states

Emmylou Harris - Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down (Merle Haggard)
And let your memory come around.
Remember that time I was hanging out with Loretta Lynn’s brother and talking his ear off about everything? I do.
Oh Atlanta // Emmylou Harris
Well, there’s a place down Kentucky
Said right down near Ohio
You can watch the planes at night
People line up to watch each flight
Don’t that road look rough and rocky?
Don’t that sea look wide and deep?
Drive South // Kelly Willis
I left that motor runnin’
So if you’re feelin’ down and out
Come on, baby, drive south
‘Lone Star State of Mind’ always gives me a very specific feeling that I can never place where or when it’s from. But I know that I physically feel like my body is someplace else, in another time when I listen to this album. You know? Oh, Nanci.
