=================================

In the early mornin' 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
Where the cold wind blows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She's a rollin' down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wings on high
She's away and
westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flyin' o'er my home
In about three hours time

This old airport's got me down
It's no earthly place to live
'cause I'm stuck here
on the ground
Cold and drunk as I might be
Can't jump a jet plane
Like you can freight train
So I'd best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain

So I'd best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
