Steve Miller - Jet Airliner lyrics

rate me

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 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

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
