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 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
Chorus
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
Guitar x2
Verse 2
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 seven oh seven (707)
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven
Chorus
Guitar x2
Verse 3
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
Chorus
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
Guitar x2
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
Chorus (with fade)
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's there that I belong
Guitar x2
