Bobby Bare - Early Morning Rain Lyrics






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 and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain and no place to go.

Out on runway No 9 big 7-0-7 set to go
But I'm standing on the grass where the cold wind blows
Well, the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
There she goes my friend she's a rolling now at last.

Hear that mighty engines roar see the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun will always shine
She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time.

This old airport's got me down it's no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a big jet plane like you can an old freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain.

So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain...

    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 and I miss my loved ones so In the early morning
    rain and no place to go Out on runway No 9 big 7-0-7 set to go
    But I'm standing on the grass where the cold wind blows
    Well the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast There she
    goes my friend she's a rolling now at last Hear
    that mighty engines roar see the silver bird on high
    She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly
    Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun will always shine
    She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time
    This old airport's got me down it's no earthly good to me
    Cause I'm stuck here on the ground cold and drunk as I can be
    You can't jump a big jet plane like you can an old freight train
    So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
    So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

    From the album "Streets of Baltimore". My favorite Bobby LP. Played thousands of time on my parents stereo during the 70tis. Have tried to find it on cd, but no luck

    Bob Dylan does a great job on this tune
