[Verse 1] I received a message from my brother across the water He sat laughing 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 [Chorus] Oh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning Meet me in the middle of the night Ah, yeah, the morning light is coming Don't it make you wanna go and feel alright? Ooh yeah, ah hah [Verse 2] I just jumped a train that never stops So now somehow I know I'll never finish paying for my ride Someone pushed a gun into my hand Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight without inquiring [Chorus] Oh, yeah-ha come on, meet me in the morning Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah? Oh, well, the morning light is coming Don't it make you wanna go and feel alright? [Bridge] Oh, mama, well, I think it's time I'm leaving Nothing here to make me stay Whoa, mama, well, it must be time I'm going They're knocking down them doors, they're trying to take me away Please, Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell And ring it loud and clear? Please, Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell? Tell the people they got to fly away from here [Verse 3] Oh, 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 [Chorus] Oh, come on, come on now, meet me in the morning Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, n-n-night? Oh, oh yeah, everybody know the morning time is coming Don't it make you wanna feel alright? Ah, ah, yeah [Outro] Make me feel alright Fly now, baby Get to fly, yeah Fly now, baby Oh, hey hey Uh, uh, uh, uh
