JET AIRLINER
Paul Pena


???? just about going insane
I've been down before
Riding along in this big jet plane
I've been thinking `bout jumping out the door
Cause my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody is trying to make me stay
And I've got to be on the run

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

I've been sitting by the ???
Wondering where my strength is going
Looking through the mirror of life
Trying to find out which way the wind is blowing

But my heart keeps pushing me backwards
As I jump aboard that 747
Ridin' high I got a tear in my eye
You got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven..."

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

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

Touching down in New England 
Feel the heat coming down
First fall this ???
I said I'd be there, but I couldn't seem to quite get it down
Cause I'm going with a calm hesitation
I like to go and make my way
But there's so many people I love to talk to
And a whole lotta of debts to pay

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 old friends at home,
Goodbye to willin' friends I've trusted;
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich and I might get busted...

But I'm gone, lord, there's so many things to clean up
Got to make my way clear before me
But I don't want to get mixed up
In any of that funky shit 
That's gone down before me... 

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

Going to try to pull me away
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's California where I've got to stay
