Lyrics
Faster than a moving car
Higher than the morning star
You know its smoother than the ocean's tide
It's the jet plane flying thru the night
Well I'm a jet man flying thirteen miles high
Then I find myself alone
I see a face in every cloud in every sky
But its not like when I'm at home
I've got to realize honey
That I need you're loving on a Friday night
I get so hard up when I fly
I'm just a pilot on a jet plane flight
I'm just a jet man in the sky
When I'm with you I've got to cry out in vain
I realize I've got to go
There's a jet plane outside and its waiting to fly
Four thousand hours that I've spent in the sky
I regret every minute of it honey
Cause I need you're loving on a Friday night
I get so hard up when I fly
I'm just a pilot on a jet plane flight
I'm just a jet man in the sky
Well I'm a jet man flying thirteen miles high
And it seems like I just got to fly
I want to fly more than anything
Even more than your precious love can bring
Cause I need you're loving on a Friday night
I get so hard up when I fly
I'm just a pilot on a jet plane flight
I'm just a jet man in the sky
