Tompall Glaser - Oleander lyrics

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
