Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And I missed my loved one so
[Verse 2]
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
Out on the runway number nine
Big seven-o-seven set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold winds blow
[Verse 3]
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
[Verse 4]
Here a mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above my home she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flyin' past my home
In about three hours time
[Verse 5]
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And I missed my loved one so
[Verse 6]
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
