Early Morning Rain - Take 1

Yeah, that Hawaiian wedding song has always been tough, tough to sing
The night I recorded it, I did it all night, worked on it all night
Yeah, it's just that it's difficult
(Are you actually the person that did it?)
Ah, no, there was some other people who did it
But I had all those, uh, I had all those guys, uh, y'know?
Doing the Hawaiian stuff in the background

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 missed 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
Where the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes, my friend
She's rolling out at last

Hear the mighty engines roar (hear the mighty engines roar)
See the silver wing on high (see the silver wing on high)
She's away and westward bound
For above the clouds, she flies
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours time

This ol' airport's got me down
It's no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
Cold and drunk as I might be
Can't jump a jet plane (can't jump a plane)
Like you can a freight train (like 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
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain

(Shall we do it?) Yes, sir (okay)
Ah, you guys, lemme hear the, the, uh, the beat back there, don't be-
Don't hold back too much
I said, don't hold back too much, let me hear the feels and the beats
It's awfully isolated out here
Ah, thank you, Rodney
