With apologies to the Steve Miller Band.

When I left home, I don't even know
Have I been here before?
Ridin' along in this old Pelican
I've been thinking about my home
But my A.I. seems so far away
And there are things that I've left undone
Somebody's trying to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on

Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Goodbye to the Helljumpers at home
Goodbye to those I mistrusted
I've got to go out and kidnap a Prophet
That is, I was before Reach got all busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
as I get on the Pillar of Autumn
Ridin' high I got tears in my visor
I gotta get to the Library
Before I get to heaven

Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Touchin' down into Halo town
I hear dropships comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the bingle ring keeps on spinnin' around
And I'm going with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That those jackals, grunts, elites and banshees
definitely are trying to kill me

Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, big ol' UNSC cruiser
Cause it's here that I've got to stay

Oh, Oh little 'ol Longsword fighter
Carry me to my home
Oh, Oh little 'ol Longsword fighter
Cause it's there that I belong
