In the early morning rain G D With a dollar in my hand Em With an aching in my heart G D And my pockets full of sand Em I'm a long ways from home G D And I missed my loved one so A In the early morning rain G D With no place to go
A Out on runway number nine G D Big 707 set to go Em But I?m stuck here in the grass G D Where the cold wind blows Em Now the liquor tasted good G D And the women all were fast A Well there she goes my friend G D G A G D G D She's rolling down at last
A Hear the mighty engines roar G D See the silver bird on high Em She's away and westward bound G D Far above the clouds she flies Em Where the morning rain don't fall G D And the sun always shines A She'll be flying over my home G D G A G D G D In about three hours time
A This old airport?s got me down G D It's no earthly good to me Em 'Cause I?m stuck here on the ground G D As cold and drunk as I can be Em You can't jump a jet plane G D Like you can a freight train A So I best be on my way G D In the early morning rain
Em You can't jump a jet plane G D Like you can a freight train A So I best be on my way G D In the early morning rain
