“If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing,” Peter Pan says in the enduring J.M Barrie classic, and ever since Wilbur and Oliver Wright invented and flew the first airplane, singers and songwriters have been taking that to heart and looking up to the skies for inspiration.

Country singers are no exception. Everyone from John Denver to Drive-By Truckers has got a song about flying of some description, and when it comes to airports and airplanes everyone has a different approach.

While Dierks Bentley is jetting off to Cancun and getting drunk on his Boeing 737, Cassadee Pope is still back at the airport lurking about and mooning over everyone kissing each other.

Of course, there has been tragedy too, and country music has lost some of its greatest voices to plane crashes over the years. Patsy Cline, John Denver and Jim Reeves are just a few of the country legends that have been taken from us too soon.

It’s like Miranda Lambert once sang: “If you don’t jump, you’ll never know if you can fly.” So, what are you waiting for? Take a leap into the unknown with our playlist of the Best Country Songs About Flying. Yes, ‘Free Bird’ is on it.
