Early Morning Rain Lyrics - Roy Drusky

(Four o'clock in the morning and it's been raining 

Little paddles of water reflect the thousand thin points of color 

As neon signs shine and glimmer down into them 

There's a sad unshaven face looking back at me 

From one of those little ponds that keeps asking how did I get here where can I go 

And even if I got there this aching in my heart would go with me) 

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand 

And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand 

I'm a long long way from home and I miss my loved ones so 

In the early morning rain with no place to go 

Out on runway No 9 big 7-0-7 set to go 

But I'm stuck here in the grass where the cold wind blows 

Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast 

Well there she goes my friend she's a rolling now at last 

[ guitar ] 

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 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 as 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
