[Verse 1]
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 ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go

[Verse 2]
Out on runway number nine
Big 707's set to go
But I'm stuck here in the ground
Where the cold winds blow
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 3]
Hear her 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 flying past my home
In about three hours time
[Verse 1]
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 ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
In the early morning rain
With no place to go
