Bobby Bare - Early Morning Rain lyrics

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 ones so In the early morning rain and no place to go. Out on runway No 9 big 7-0-7 set to go But I'm standing on the gra** where the cold wind blows Well, the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast There she goes my friend she's a rolling now at last. Hear that mighty engines roar see the silver bird on high She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun will always shine She'll be flying o'er 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 cold and drunk as I can be You can't jump a big jet plane like you can an old freight train So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain. So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain...
