The Steve Miller Band- Threshold/ Jet Airliner

Threshold/ Jet Airliner-Lyrics:

/

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

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
Ridin' 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

Touchin' down in New England town
Feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the big wheel keeps a spinnin' around
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 kicks goin' 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
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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Big ol' jet airliner...

BBQFanNo1 has got some real anti-posting rights issues in reference to my comments. I'm Bloody Well RIght... I Got A Bloody Right To Say! (Supertramp's "Bloody Well Right")

How many times you waste that lame-ass response? You don't have to raise your low self esteem by cussing at people. Give it up. It doesn't work on me.

Something about Threshold Intro makes me think about the last two seasons of the Six Million Dollar Man and Knight Rider TV series
