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 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
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 us 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 kicks 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
