Jet Airliner (Live WNEW-FM Broadcast Remastered) - Steve Miller Band

Leaving home, out on the road

I've been down before

Riding along on this big old jet plane

I've been thinking about my home

But my love light seems so far away

And I feel like it's all been done

Somebody's trying to make me stay

You know I got to be moving on

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

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

Riding 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, big ol' jet airliner

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

Touching down in New England town

Feel the heat coming down

I've got to keep on keeping on

You know the big wheel keeps a-spinning around

And I'm going 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 going down in the city

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

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Big ol' jet airliner

Don't carry me too far away

Woah-oh, big ol' jet airliner

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

Oh, big ol' jet airliner

Carry me to my home

Oh, big ol' jet airliner

'Cause it's there that I belong
