Lyrics Early Morning Rain - Live at The Honolulu International Center, Hawaii January 12, 1973 - Rehearsal - Elvis Presley

In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And a pocket full of sand.
I'm a long ways from home.
And I miss my lover so.
In the early morning rain
With no place to go.
Out on runway number 9
A big 707's set to go.
But I'm out here on the grass
Where the pavement never goes.
Where the liquer tasted good
And the women all were fast.
There she goes my friend
She's a rolling on the tracks
Here the mighty engines roar
See the silver wings on high
She s western bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin rain don't fall
And the sun always shines.
She'll be flying ov'r my home
In about 3 hours time.
This old airport's got me down
Its no earthly good to me.
Cause I'm out here on the grass
Cold and drunk and on my feet
Can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train.
So I best be on my way
In the early morning rain.
So I best be on my way
In the early morning rain.
So I best be on my way
In the early morning rain.
End
