Fasten your seatbelts the stewardess says
Put your seats in an upright position
So I kick off my boots and I lean back my head
And I close my eyes and I start wishin'
Lord I wish I could keep flyin' into the sun
And run like the devil for heaven
But the plane's due in Denver at 9:41
I'll be on the stage at eleven
I guess you're a singer the old lady asks
'Cause I noticed your fancy guitar
I once had a husband played a guitar like that
Son I hope you ain't workin' in bars
I got seven days furlough the young soldier says
And my girl's back at home waitin' for me
And I'd just love to grab her and spend eight days in bed
But I guess you ain't been in the Army
And I wish I could keep flyin' into the sun
And run like the devil for heaven
But the plane's due in Denver at 9:41
I'll be on that stage at eleven
It ain't I don't love you the letter begins
But you come and you go like the seasons
You sing about love then ride off on the wind
And a girl can grow old just believin'
Then fasten your seatbelts the stewardess says
And observe the no smokin' sign please
So I fold up her letter and I look straight ahead
And I hear a voice cry from inside me
Lord I wish I could keep flyin' into the sun
And run like the devil for heaven
But the plane's due in Denver at 9:41
And I'll be on stage at eleven
Singing Oleander wait a little longer the river's gonna carry me home
Oleander wait a little longer the river's gonna carry me home
Oleander wait a little longer the river's gonna carry me home
Oleander wait a little longer the river's gonna carry me home
