Early Morning Rain Lyrics - Bobby Bare

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 grass 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
