--- Start Of If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics ---

In the early morning rain ... with a dollar in my hand
With an achin in my heart ... and my pockets full of sand
Im a long way from home .. and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain .. with no place to go

Out on runway number nine ... big seven-o-seven set to go
But Im 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 ... well shes rollin down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar ... see the silver bird on high
Shes away and westward bound ... far above the clouds shell fly
Where the mornin rain dont fall ... and the sun always shines
Shell be flyin oer my home ... in about three hours time

This old airports got me down ... its no earthly good to me
Cause Im stuck here on the ground ... as cold and drunk as I can be
You cant jump a jet plane ... like you can a freight train
So Id best be on my way ... in the early morning rain

You cant jump a jet plane ... like you can a freight train
So Id best be on my way ... in the early morning rain
