Felton Jarvis - Early Mornin' Rain lyrics

[Verse 1] In the early morning rain With a dollar in my hand And an aching in my heart And my pockets full of sand [Verse 2] I'm a long ways from home And I missed my loved one so In the early morning rain With no place to go [Verse 3] Out on runway number nine Big 707 set to go Well, I'm out here on the gra** Where the pavement never grows [Verse 4] Where the liquor tasted good And the women all were fast There she goes my friend She's rolling out at last [Verse 5] 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 For above the clouds she flies [Verse 6] Where the morning rain don't fall And the sun always shines She'll be flying over my home In about three hours time [Verse 7] This old airport's got me down It's no earthly good to me Because I'm stuck here on the ground Cold and drunk as I might be [Verse 8] 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 morning rain [Verse 9] So I best be on my way In the early morning rain So I best be on my way In the early morning rain
