Early Morning Rain letra

In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand

Now, 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
A big 707's set to go
But, I'm stuck here in the grass
Where the cold wind blows

Now, the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
Well, there she goes, my friend
Well she's going 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

There 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

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
