C             F          C    F              C
Leavin' home, out on the road I've been down before
C                                                F                 C
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane I've been thinkin' about my home
C                                         Bb             F        C
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
       B    F         C
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

Verse 2
C                  F         C    F                      C
Goodbye to all my friends at home goodbye to people I've trusted
C                                    F                         C
I've got to go out and make my way I might get rich you know I might get busted
C                                            B          F              C
But my heart keeps calling me backwards as I get on the seven oh seven (707)
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven

Verse 3
C                    F       C    F                    C
Touchin' down in new england town feel the heat comin' down
C                                           F                         C
I've got to keep on keepin' on you know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
C                                           B          F      C
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
