Early in the Morning
Willie X.O Lyrics

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
In the wee hours of the morning, feeling forlorn and financially uncertain with only a single dollar bill to my name

And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
Feeling a deep, emotional pain and carrying worthless weight in my pockets

I'm a long long way from home and I miss my loved one so
Being far away from the place I call home and yearning for the presence of my significant other

In the early morning rain with no place to go
Being stranded with no clear direction or destination in sight, all alone in the early morning rain

Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go
Observing a large, commercial aircraft preparing for takeoff on runway nine

And I'm stuck here on the ground where the cold wind blows
Feeling trapped on the cold, unpleasant ground while watching the plane depart

That old liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
Recalling a past moment where the drinks were plentiful and the company was easy

Well, there she goes my friend, she's rolling now at last
Witnessing the plane finally begin to move down the runway and take flight

Here the mighty engine roar, see the silver bird on high
Hearing the powerful engine and watching the shining plane fly high into the sky

She's away and westward bound, high above the clouds she'll fly
The plane is heading west and going high enough to soar over the clouds

Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
Going to a place where the rain doesn't dampen the morning and the sun is always shining bright

She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time
Knowing that the plane will be flying over the town where I call home in about three hours

This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
Feeling hopeless and unsatisfied with the depressing environment of the airport

And I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be
Being stranded on the cold ground, feeling both intoxicated and miserably helpless

You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
Not being able to casually hop on a plane as easily as boarding a train

So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
Deciding it's best to move on and depart from this gloomy airport in the early morning rain
