The ever obnoxious Neil Young did a Great cover of one of Gordon's songs.
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my handWith an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sandI'm a long way from home, Lord, I miss my loved ones soIn the early morning rain with no place to go
Out on runway number nine a big 707 set to goAnd, I'm stuck here in the grass where the pavement never growsNow, the liquor tasted good and the women all were fastWell, there she goes, my friend, she'll be rolling down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on highShe's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly
There the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shinesShe'll be flying over my home in about three hours time
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to meAnd I'm stuck here on the ground as cold and drunk as I can beYou can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight trainSo, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight trainSo, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain...
