  S1:
  In the early morning rain  

  With a dollar in my hand  

  With an aching in my heart  

  And my pockets full of sand  

  I'm a long way from home 

  Lord, I miss my loved ones so  

  In the early morning rain  

  With no place to go

  S2:
  Out on runway number nine  

  A big 707 set to go  

  And, I'm stuck here in the grass  

  Where the pavement never grows  

  Now, the liquor tasted good  

  And the women all were fast  

  Well, there she goes, my friend  

  She'll be rolling down at last

  S3:
  Hear the mighty engines roar 

  See the silver wing on high  

  She's away and westward bound 

  Far above the clouds she'll fly  

  There the morning rain don't fall  

  And the sun always shines  

  She'll be flying over my home  

  In about three hours time

  S4:
  This old airport's got me down 

  It's no earthly good to me  

  And I'm stuck here on the ground  

  As cold and drunk as I can be  

  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  

  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
