Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the early mornin' rain With a dollar in my hand And an achin' in my heart And my pockets full of sand I'm a long ways from home And I miss my loved ones so In the early mornin' rain With no place to go [Verse 2] Out on runway number nine Big 707 set to go But 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 rollin' out at last [Verse 3] 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 Far above the clouds she'll fly Where the mornin' rain don't fall And the sun always shines She'll be flyin' over my home In about three hours time [Verse 4] This old 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 [Outro] So I best be on my way In the early mornin' rain So I best be on my way In the early mornin' rain
