B5
Can't see forty-two, just 'bout t'go insane
E5 B5
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big jet plane
E5 B5
I've been thinkin' about jumpin' out the door
'Cause my home land is so far away
A5 E5 B5
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
A5 E5 B5
And I've got to be on the run
[CHORUS]
A5 E5 B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5 E5 B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
B5 E5 B5
I've been sitting by the fireside
E5 B5
Wonderin' where my strength is goin'
Looking through the midnight,
E5 B5
Tryin' to find out which way the wind is blowin'
But my heart keeps pushing me backwards
A5 E5 B5
As I jump aboard that 747
Riding high, but with a tear in my eye
A5 E5 B5
You got to go through hell before you get to heaven
[CHORUS]
A5 E5 B5
Woah, big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5 E5 B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
[SOLO]
Oh I know I will
I'm gonna leave on my own this time
Oh, yeah, yeah
[CHORUS]
A5 E5 B5
Big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5 E5 B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
B5 E5 B5
Touchin' down in New England
E5 B5
Feel the heat comin' down
First thought is "Lord, I said I'd be there"
E5 B5
But I couldn't seem to quite get it down
'Cause I'm goin' with some hesitation
A5 E5 B5
I've got to go and make my way
But there's so many people, Lord, to talk to
A5 E5 B5
And a whole lotta debts to pay
[CHORUS]
A5 E5 B5
Oh, Big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5 E5 B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
B5 E5 B5
Goodbye to old friends at home
E5 B5
Goodbye to willing friends I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
E5 B5
I might get rich and I might get busted
But I'm going, Lord, with so many things to clean up
A5 E5 B5
I've got to make my way clear before me
But I don't want to get mixed up
A5 E5 B5
In any of that funky shit that goin' down before me
[CHORUS]
A5 E5 B5
Big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5 E5 B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
[CHORUS]
A5 E5 B5
Big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
Don't carry me too far away
A5 E5 B5
Oh big ol' jet airliner
A5 E5 B5
'Cause it's California that I've got to stay
