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 one so
|
In the early morning rain with no place to go
|
|
Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go
|
And I'm stuck here on the grass where the cold winds blow
|
Well, the liquor tasted good and the time went fast
|
Well, there she goes my friend, there she's rolling now 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
|
|
Well, this old airport's got me down, it ain't no earthly good to me
|
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, this cold and drunk as I can be
|
You can't jump the jet plane like I can a freight train
|
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
|
