[Verse]
A5 D5 A5
Leavin' home, out on the road I've been down before
A5 D5 A5
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane I've been thinkin' about my home
A5 G D A
But my love light seems so far away and I feel like it's all been done
A5 G D A
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay you know I've got to be movin' on
[Chorus]
G D A5
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
G D A5
Don't carry me too far away
G D A5
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
G D A5
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

A5 D5 A5
Goodbye to all my friends at home goodbye to people I've trusted
A5 D5 A5
I've got to go out and make my way I might get rich you know I might get busted
A5 G D A
But my heart keeps calling me backwards as I get on the seven oh seven
A5 G D A
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven
[Chorus]
G D A5
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
G D A5
Don't carry me too far away
G D A5
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
G D A5
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

A5 D5 A5
Touchin' down in new england town feel the heat comin' down
A5 D5 A5
I've got to keep on keepin' on you know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
A5 G D A
And I'm goin' with some hesitation You know that I can surely see
A5 G D A
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that Funky shit goin' down in the city
[Chorus]
G D A5
Big ol' jet airliner
G D A5
Don't carry me too far away
