|
In the early mornin' rain |
|
With a dollar in my hand |
|
And an aching in my heart |
|
And my pockets full of sand |
|
I'm a long ways from home |
|
And I missed my loved one so |
|
In the early mornin' rain |
|
With no place to go |
|
Out on runway number nine |
|
Big 707 set to go |
|
Well, I'm out here on the grass |
|
Where the pavement never grows |
|
Where the liquor tasted good |
|
And the women all were fast |
|
There she goes my friend |
|
She's rolling out at last |
|
Hear the mighty engines roar |
|
(Hear the mighty engines roar ) |
|
See the silver wing on high |
|
(See the silver wing on high ) |
|
She's away and westward bound |
|
For above the clouds she flies |
|
Where the mornin' rain don't fall |
|
And the sun always shines |
|
She'll be flying over my home |
|
In about three hours time |
|
This ol' airport's got me down |
|
It's no earthly good to me |
|
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground |
|
Cold and drunk as I might be |
|
Can't jump a jet plane |
|
(Can't jump a plane) |
|
Like you can a freight train |
|
(Like a freight train ) |
|
So I best be on my way |
|
In the early mornin' rain |
|
So I best be on my way |
|
In the early mornin' rain |
|
So I best be on my way |
|
In the early mornin' rain |
