Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
In the early mornin' 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 mornin' rain
With no place to go.

Out on runway number nine
Big 707 set to go
But, I’m out here on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Well the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She's a-rolling out at last.

Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
High above the clouds she flies
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours time.

--- Instrumental ---

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 an old freight train
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain.

Guess, I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain...
In the early mornin' 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 mornin' rain   With no place to go.      Out on runway number nine   Big 707 set to go   But, I’m out here on the grass   Where the pavement never grows   Well the liquor tasted good   And the women all were fast   There she goes my friend   She's a-rolling out at last.      Hear the mighty engines roar   See the silver wing on high   She's away and westward bound   High above the clouds she flies   Where the mornin' rain don't fall   And the sun always shines   She'll be flying over my home   In about three hours time.      --- Instrumental ---      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 an old freight train   So I best be on my way   In the early mornin' rain.      Guess, I best be on my way   In the early mornin' rain...
