In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart
My old pocket's full o' sand
I'm a long way from home
God, I miss my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain, with no place to go
Down on runway number nine
747 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold wind blows
Well, the liquor tasted good
And the women were fast
Well there she goes, my friend
She's a-rollin' out at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
It's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Well, the mornin' rain don't pour
And the sun always shines
You'll be flying o'er my home
In about an hour's time
This old airport's gotten me down
God it ain't no earthly good to me
With a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart
My old pocket's full o' sand
I'm a long way from home
God, I miss my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain, with no place to go
Down on runway number nine
747 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold wind blows
Well, the liquor tasted good
And the women were fast
Well there she goes, my friend
She's a-rollin' out at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
It's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Well, the mornin' rain don't pour
And the sun always shines
You'll be flying o'er my home
In about an hour's time
This old airport's gotten me down
God it ain't no earthly good to me
