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
  Get to fly, yeah. Fly now, baby
