Jet Airliner (Alternate Version)

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Oh‚ big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh‚ big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I want to stay

[Verse 2]

Goodbye to all my friends at home

Goodbye to friends 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 board that 707

Ridin' high, I got tears in my eyes

You know you got to go through hell

Before you get to heaven

[Chorus]

Oh‚ big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh, big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I want to stay

[Verse 3]

Touchin' down in New England town

Feel the heat comin' down

You know I've got to keep on playin' my guitar

You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around

But 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 that's going down before me

[Chorus]

Big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh, big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I want to stay

[Solo]

Yeah‚ yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

(Oh) big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I've got to stay

[Chorus]

Oh, big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Oh, big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
