Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home
But my love light seems so far away
an I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on
Chorus:
Big ol' jet airliner
don't carry me too far away
Big ol' jet airliner
cause it's here that I've got to stay
Goodby to all my friends at home
Goodby to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might bet busted
but my heart keeps calling me backwards
as I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
you know you got to go through hell
before you get to heaven
Chorus
Touchin down in New England town
feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin on
you know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
But I'm goin' with some hesitation
you know that I can surely see
that I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city
Oh Oh big ol jet airliner
don't carry me too far away
big ol' jet airliner cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh Oh big ol' jet airliner
carry me to my home
Oh oh big ol' jet airliner cause it's there that I belong
