Jet Airliner
Wynners Lyrics

Leaving home out on the road
Starting a journey away from home

I've been down before
Experienced tough times in the past

Riding along on this big ol jet plane
Traveling by airplane

I've been thinking about my home
Feeling nostalgic for one's home

But my love light seems so far away
Feeling distant from one's loved ones

And I feel like it's all been done
Feeling bored or unfulfilled with current situation

Somebody's trying to make me stay
Feeling pressure to stay in one place

You know I've got to be moving on
Feeling the need to keep moving forward

Oh big ol jet airliner
Referring to the airplane as a means of travel

Don't carry me too far away
Desiring to stay connected with one's home

Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Believing that one's current location is important

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Saying farewell to close acquaintances before leaving

Goodbye to people I've trusted
Saying farewell to those who have been reliable and trustworthy

I've got to go out and make my way
Seeking independence and finding success on one's own

I might get rich you know
Acknowledging the possibility of financial success

I might get busted
Acknowledging the possibility of failure or trouble

But my heart keeps calling me back wards
Being pulled towards one's home and loved ones

As I get on the 707
Referring to the specific airplane model

Riding high I got tears in my eyes
Feeling emotional about the journey ahead

You know you got to go through hell
Recognizing the challenges or difficulties that come with success

Before you get to heaven
Acknowledging the reward or payoff that comes after overcoming challenges

Touching down in New England town
Arriving at a specific destination

Feel the heat coming down
Experiencing the heat or intensity of the moment

I've got to keep on keeping on
Remaining determined and persistent

You know the big wheel keeps
Recognizing the continual cycle of life

On spinning around
Continuing without stopping

And I'm going with some hesitation
Approaching the future with caution or uncertainty

You know that I can surely see
Having a clear vision of the future

That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Avoiding negative influences and distractions

Funky shit going down in the city
Referring to undesirable or negative events or behaviors

Carry me to my home
Desiring to return to one's home after the journey
