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 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 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       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 on 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 kicks 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       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
