In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
Im 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 im stuck here on the grass where the cold winds they do blow
And where whiskey was and bars and the women they were fine
There she goes my friend, she rolling down at last
Here the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
Shes away and westward bound, far above the clouds shell fly
There the morning rain dont fall and the sun always shines
Shell be flying over my home in about three hours time
This old airports got me down it aint no earthy good to me
Because im stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as i can be
You cant hop a jet plane like you can a railroad train
So id best be on my way in the early morning rain
