C               F          C   F                  C
  Leavin' home, out on the road I've been down before
C                                                 F                  C
Ridin' along on 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
C                                                Bb        F      C
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay, you know I've got to be movin' on


[Chorus]

       Bb      F         C
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Bb             F         C
Don't carry me too far away
       Bb      F         C
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
           Bb             F       C
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

C

[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                                     Bb         F         C
But my heart keeps calling me backwards as I get on the seven oh seven (707)
C                                                 Bb                F              C
Ridin' high, I got tears in my eyes, you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven


[Chorus]

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 a spinnin' around
        C                                         Bb    F      C
And I'm goin' with some hesitation, you know that I can surely see
       C                                         Bb     F          C
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky shit goin' down in the city
