B5Can't see forty-two, just 'bout t'go insane
E5I've been down beforB5e
Ridin' along in this big jet plane
I've been E5thinkin' about jumpin' out the doB5or
'Cause my home land is so far away
And I A5feel like it's E5all been B5done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
And I've A5got to be E5on the B5run
[Chorus]

A5Don't carry me E5too far aB5way
Oh A5big ol' E5jet airB5liner
'Cause it's A5here that I've E5got to B5stay

E5Wonderin' where my strength is B5goin'
Looking through the mirror of life 
Tryin' to E5find out which way the wind is B5blowin'
But my heart keeps pushing me backwards

Riding high, but with a tear in my eye
You got to A5go through hell beE5fore you get to B5heaven

Can't see forty-two, just 'bout t'go insane

I've been sitting by the fireside

Wonderin' where my strength is goin'

Looking through the mirror of life

I've got to go and make my way
