Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Riding along in 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 moving on
Oh, Oh big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, 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'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
Riding high I got 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, Oh big old jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Touching down in New England town
Feel the heat coming down
I"ve got to keep on keeping on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinning around
And I"m going 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 going down in the city
Big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big old jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, 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
Oh, Oh big old jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big old jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big old jet airliner
Cause it's there that I belong
