Jet Airliner

Steve Miller Band

Leavin' home, out on the road,
I've been down before.

Ridin' along on this big ole 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 try'n' to make me stay.
You know I've got to be movin' on.

Oh, big ole jet airliner, don't carry me too far away,
oh, big ole 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 callin' me backwards
as I get on the sevenoseven.

Ridin' high, I got tears in my eyes.
You know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven.

Big ole jet airliner, don't carry me too far away,
oh, big ole 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 shit goin' down in the city.

Big ole jet airliner, don't carry me too far away,
oh, big ole jet airliner, 'cause it's here that I've got to stay.

Woh, big ole jet airliner, don't carry me too far away,
oh, big ole jet airliner, 'cause it's here that I've got to stay,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big ole jet airliner, don't carry me too far away,
woh, big ole jet airliner, 'cause it's here that I've got to stay.

Woh, big ole jet airliner, carry me to my home,
oh, big ole jet airliner, 'cause it's there that I belong.
