Leavin' home
Out on the road
I've been down before
Riding along on this big old jet plane
I've been thinking about my home
But my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's trying to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on
Oh, big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big old 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 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 'em tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven
Big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big old jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Touchin' down in New England Town
Feel the heat comin' down
I 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 shit goin' down in the city
Big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big old jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big old jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Woah, big old jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, big old jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, big old jet airliner
'Cause it's there that I belong
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah big old jet airliner)
