written by Gordon Lightfoot. lyrics: In the early mornin' rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long ways from home
And I miss my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big 707 set to go
Well I’m out here on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
