"Jet Airliner" lyrics

Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in 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

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to the 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

Ridin' high, I got tears in my eyes
You know I 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

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in 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
Carry me to my home
Oh, oh, big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I belong
