Paul Pena (born in Hyannis, Massachusetts, on January 26, 1950; died on October 1, 2005) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist of Cape Verdean descent. From the first half of his career Pena's music touched on Delta blues, jazz, morna, flamenco, folk and rock and roll. Pena is probably best-known for writing the song "Jet Airliner," a major 1977 hit for the Steve Miller Band and a staple of classic rock radio; and for appearing in the 1999 documentary film Genghis Blues

ABm When I was a little boy I felt so alone DA Quiet country house that I had to call home ABm Living with a couple folks rich millionaires DA Sat on their money Lord it seemed they didn't care
ABm Finally we moved to our own place DA Where I could walk around with a smile on my face ABm And I knew in order to be a man DA I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go there ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go there
ABm Came to a school in the big city DA Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty ABm They told me to teach me to live by their rules DA So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
ABm I found out not too long DA Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song ABm I knew in order to be a man DA I had to pull up roots once again and move on in this land
ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go there ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go there
ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go there ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go there
ABm Then I joined the college ranks DA There they said they'd teach me how to think ABm Gave me books to read and papers to write DA They didn't know about this boy's come to fight
ABm But I found out after awhile DA Reading those books was making me loose my smile ABm I knew in order to not conceal DA I had to play music and express what I feel
ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go there ABm I'm gonna move away from here DA You can find me if you want to go ther
