GORDON LIGHTFOOT - Early Mornin' Rain lyrics

rate me

In the early morning rain<br>With a dollar in my hand<br>With an achin' in my heart<br>And my pockets full of sand<br>I'm a long way from home<br>And I miss my loved ones so<br>In the early morning rain<br>With no place to go<br>Out on runway number nine<br>Big seven-o-seven set to go<br>But I'm stuck here in the grass<br>Where the cold wind blows<br>Now the liquor tasted good<br>And the women all were fast<br>Well there she goes my friend<br>Well she's rollin' down at last<br><br>Hear the mighty engines roar<br>See the silver bird on high<br>She's away and westward bound<br>Far above the clouds she'll fly<br>Where the mornin' rain don't fall<br>And the sun always shines<br>She'll be flyin' o'er my home<br>In about three hours time<br><br>This old airport's got me down<br>It's no earthly good to me<br>'cause I'm stuck here on the ground<br>As cold and drunk as I can be<br>You can't jump a jet plane<br>Like you can a freight train<br>So I'd best be on my way<br>In the early morning rain<br>You can't jump a jet plane<br>Like you can a freight train<br>So I'd best be on my way<br>In the early morning rain
