Leavin' on out on the road I've been down before
Ridin' along on that big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' 'bout jumpin' out the door
'Cause my homeland lives so far away
And I feel like its all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
And I've got to be on the run
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, don't carry me too far away
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, 'cause its here that I got to stay
I been sittin' by the fireside
Wonderin' where my strength is goin'
Lookin' through the mirror of life
Tryin' to figure out which way the wind is blowin'
But my heart keeps pushin' me backwards
As I get up on that 747
Ridin' high but with a tear in my eye
You know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, don't carry me too far away
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, 'cause its here that I got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home, goodbye to people I trusted
I got to go out and make my way
I might get rich, you know I might get busted
'Cause I'm goin' with a calm hesitation, God's gonna make a way
But there's so many people, Lord, to talk to
And a whole lot of debt to pay
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, don't carry me too far away
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, 'cause its here that I got to stay
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, don't carry me too far away
Ooh big ol' jet airliner, 'cause its here that I got to stay
