Leaving home, out on the road I have been down before Riding along on this big old jet plane I have been thinking about my home But my love light seems so far away And I feel like it is all been done Somebodys trying to make me stay You know I got to be moving on
Oh, big ol jet airliner Dont carry me too far away Oh, big ol jet airliner Cause it is here that I have got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home Goodbye to peorle I have trysted I have 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 ol jet airliner Dont carry me too far away Oh, big ol jet airliner Cause it is here that I have got to stay
Touching down in New England town Feel the heat coming down I have got to keep on keeping on You know the big wheel keeps a-spinning around And I am going with some hesitation You know that I can surely see That I dont want to get caught up in any of that Funky shit going down in the city Big ol jet airliner Dont carry me too far away Oh, big ol jet airliner Cause it is here that I have got to stay Oh, big ol jet airliner Dont carry me too far away Oh, big ol jet airliner Cause it is here that I have got to stay Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Big ol jet airliner Dont carry me too far away Woah-oh, big ol jet airliner Cause it is here that I have got to stay Oh, big ol jet airliner Carry me to my home Oh, big ol jet airliner Cause it is there that I belong
