Lyrics
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm 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
Well I'm out here on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Can you 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 (Ooh)
In the early morning rain
So I best be on my way
In the early morning rain
Thank you very much
Thank you John
