In the early morning 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 one so
In the early morning rain with no place to go
Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go
But I`m stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow
Well the liquor tasted good and the women were all fast
There she goes my friend, o she`s rolling now at last
Here the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
She`s away and westward bound, high above the clouds she`ll fly
Where the early rain don`t fall and the sun always shines
She`ll be flying o`er my home in about three hours time
This old airport`s got me down, it`s no earthly use 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`d best be on my way in the early morning rain
