Early Morning Rain lyrics

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I m a long way from home and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain with nowhere to go.

Cut on runway number nine, big 707 set to go
I m stuck here on the ground, where the cold winds blow
The liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
There she goes, my friend, she s rolling down at last.

Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
She s away and westward bound, far above the clouds she ll fly
Where the morning rain don t fall and the sun always shines
She ll be flying over my home in about three hours time.

This old airport s got me down, it s no earthly good to me
Because I m stuck here on the ground, cold and drunks as I might be
You can t hop a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I d best be on my way in the early morning rain.
