Early Mornin' Rain
Journey Through Longing: Elvis's Early Mornin' Reflection
Lyrics
In the early mornin' rain
In the early morning, it's raining.
With a dollar in my hand
I have a dollar in my hand.
And an aching in my heart
I feel pain in my heart.
And my pockets full of sand
My pockets are filled with sand.
I'm a long ways from home
I am far away from home.
And I missed my loved one so
I miss my loved one intensely.
In the early mornin' rain
In the early morning rain with nowhere to go.
With no place to go
With no destination or plan.
Out on runway number nine
On runway number nine,
Big 707 set to go
A large Boeing 707 is ready to take off.
Well, I'm out here on the grass
I am on the grassy area where there is no pavement.
Where the pavement never grows
Where nothing grows, unlike the city.
Where the liquor tasted good
The alcohol is good here.
And the women all were fast
And the women are promiscuous.
There she goes my friend
My friend, the plane is finally rolling out.
She's rolling out at last
It's leaving at last.
Hear the mighty engines roar (hear the mighty engines roar)
The powerful engines are roaring.
See the silver wing on high (see the silver wing on high)
I see the silver wing high in the sky.
She's away and westward bound
The plane is heading westward.
For above the clouds she flies
Above the clouds where there is no morning rain.
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
Where it's always sunny.
And the sun always shines
The plane will fly over my home.
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours.
In about three hours time
This ol' airport's got me down
This old airport is depressing me.
It's no earthly good to me
It serves no purpose for me.
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
I am stuck on the ground.
Cold and drunk as I might be
Cold and possibly intoxicated.
Can't jump a jet plane (can't jump a plane)
I can't catch a jet plane like a freight train.
Like you can a freight train (like a freight train)
So I best be on my way
So I better start my journey.
In the early mornin' rain
In the early morning rain.
So I best be on my way
So I better start my journey.
In the early mornin' rain
In the early morning rain.
So I best be on my way
So I better start my journey.
In the early mornin' rain
In the early morning rain.
