In the early morning 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 morning 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 See the silver wing on high She's away and westward bound For above the clouds she flies Where the morning 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 You can't jump a jet plane Like you can a freight train So I best be on my way In the early morning rain
