Early Morning Rain

Early Morning Rain Lyrics

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain with no place to go

Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
But I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that ever
Grows
Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
Well now there she goes my friend, she's a-rolling down
At last

Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing 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
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as
I can be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
