There's wind in the distance
Carrying me away
And as I reposition
Throwing all my weight
There's songs in the valley
Rising up so high
They're singing them about me
Oh, to live is to fly

And if all cats, they've got nine lives
And all dogs have their days
Then may all sinners be forgiven by Jesus Christ
'Cause it'd sure be nice
To see all my friends again in

Our private Heaven
Our private Idaho
Our private Oklahoma
O-H-I-O

And if time plays tiny violins
Then we play symphonies
Through the centuries
And if time is a violent driver
Then we ride passenger
Yeah, we ride by its side
Yeah, we ride or die
We Bonnie and Clyde

And if all cats, they've got nine lives
And all dogs have their day
Then may all sinners be forgiven
'Cause Jesus Christ
Oh, it'd sure be nice
To see all my friends again in

Some private Heaven
Some private Idaho
Some private Oklahoma
O-H-I-O

Bury me, I'm planting lily of the valley
So c'mon, Jesus Christ, forgive me
I'm planting lily of the valley
Oh, c'mon, Jesus Christ, forgive me
I'm planting lily of the valley
Oh, c'mon, Jesus Christ, forgive me
