Lyrics
I received a message from my brother across 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
Oh-oh-oh, 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 and feel alright?
Oh, yeah, ah-hah
I just jumped a train that never stops
So now somehow I'll know I never finished payin' for my ride
Someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man
To fight the fight that I'll require
Oh-oh-oh, yeah, ha, come on, meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night? Yeah
Ho, well, the morning light is comin'
Well, don't it make you wanna kinda 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?
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell?
Tell the people they got to fly away from here
Oh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, 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
Oh-oh-oh, come one, come on now, meet me in the mornin'
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night na-na-night-night
Ho-ho-yeah, everybody know the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna a-feel alright?
Ah, ah, yeah, a-make me feel alright, fly now, baby
I gotta fly, yeah, fly now, baby
Uhh-ay, hey, hey, uh!
Uh, uh, uh!
