| Leavin' home, out on the road
|
| I’ve been down before
|
| Ridin' along on this big ol' jet plane
|
| I’ve been thinkin' about my home
|
| But my love light teems so far away
|
| And I feel like it’s all been done
|
| Somebody’s tryin' to make me stay
|
| You know I’ve got to be movin' on
|
| Oh, oh, big ol' jet airliner
|
| Don’t carry me too far away
|
| Oh, oh, big ol' jet airliner
|
| 'Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
|
| Goodbye to all my friends at home
|
| Goodbye to people I’ve trusted
|
| I’ve got to go out and make my way
|
| I might get rich, you know, I might get 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
|
| Big ol' jet airliner
|
| Don’t carry me too far away
|
| Oh, oh, big ol' jet airliner
|
| 'Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
|
| 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
|
| And 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
|
| Big ol' jet airliner
|
| Don’t carry me too far away
|
| Oh, oh, big ol' jet airliner
|
| 'Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
|
| Oh, oh, big ol' jet airliner
|
| Don’t carry me too far away
|
| Oh, oh, big ol' jet airliner
|
| 'Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Big ol' jet airliner
|
| Don’t carry me too far away
|
| Oh, oh, 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
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Big ol' jet airliner |
