I received a message from my brother 'cross the water

He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight

So I said goodbye to all my friends

And packed my hopes inside a matchbox

'Cause I know it's time to fly

Ohhoaoh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning

Meet me in the middle of the night

Ah-oh, yeah, the morning light is comin'

Don't it make you wanna go 'n an' feel alright

Ooh, yeah

Ah-ha

I just jumped a train that never stops

So know somehow they'll know I never

Finished payin' for my ride

Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand

Tell me I'm the type of man

To fight the fight that I'll require

Ohhoaoh, yeah, ha, come on meet me in the morning

Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah

Ohhoaoh, well, the morning light is comin'

'll don't it make you wanna go on an' feel alright

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'

Nothin' here to make me stay

Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'

They're knockin' down them doors

They're tryin' to take me away

Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell

And ring loud and clear

Unnh, please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell

Tell the people they got to fly away from here

Ohhoaoh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby

Suddenly they have a very, very special smile

We are in the middle of a change in destination

When the train stops, all together we will smile

Ohhoaoh, come on, come on, now, meet me in the morning

Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, n-n-ni-night

Hoah, hoah, yeah, everybody know the mornin' time is comin'

Don't it make you wanna feel alright

Ah, ah, yeah, Make me feel alri-ight

Fly now, baby

Get to fly, yeah

Fly now, baby

Aoahaohah-hey-hea, unnh

Unnh, unnh, unnh
