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.
