CG7DmG7C
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
DmG7C
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
DmG7C
I'm a long ways from home and I missed my loved one so
G7DmG7C
In the early morning rain with no place to go
G7DmG7C
Out on runway number nine big 707 set to go
DmG7C
Well I'm out here on the grass where the pavement never grows
DmG7C
Where the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
G7DmG7C
There she goes my friend she's rolling out at last
G7DmG7C
Hear the mighty engines roar see the silver bird on high
DmG7C
She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she flies
DmG7C
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
G7DmG7C
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time
G7DmG7C
This old airports got me down it's no earthly good to me
DmG7C
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground cold and drunk as I might be
DmG7C
Can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
G7DmG7C
So I best be on my way in the early morning rain
DmG7C
So I best be on my way in the early morning rain
DmG7C
So I best be on my way in the early morning rain
