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
Lead lick x2
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 seven oh seven (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
Lead lick x2
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 a 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 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
Lead lick x2
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lead lick x4
Big ol' jet airliner
