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

Come on, meet me in the morning,

Meet me in the middle of the night

The morning light is comin',

don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

I just jumped a train that never stops,

So now somehow I'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

Come on, meet me in the morning,

Meet me in the middle of the night

The morning light is comin',

don't it make you wanna go and 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

I once saw a picture of a lady

with a baby

Southern lady, had 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, meet me in the morning.

Won't you meet me

in the middle of the night, night, night

Everybody know the mornin' time is comin'

Don't it make you wanna feel alright.

Ah, ah, yeah

Make me feel alright. Fly now, baby
