I received a message from my brother cross the water
He sat laughin as he wrote the ends in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
Cause I know its time to fly

Oh-oh-oh-oaoh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning
Meet me in the middle of the night
Ah-oh, yeah, the morning light is comin
Dont it make you wanna go n an feel alright

Ooh, yeah
Ah-ha

I just jumped a train that never stops
So know somehow theyll know I never
Finished payin for my ride
Just n someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me Im the type of man
To fight the fight that Ill require

Ohhoaoh, yeah, ha, come on meet me in the morning
Wont you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah
Ohhoaoh, well, the morning light is comin

Oh, mama, well I think its time Im leavin
Nothin here to make me stay
Whoa, mama, well it must be time Im goin
Theyre knockin down them doors
Theyre tryin to take me away

Please Mr. Brakeman, wont you ring your bell
And ring loud and clear
Unnh, please Mr. Fireman, wont 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
Wont you meet me in the middle of the night, night, n-n-ni-night
Hoah, hoah, yeah, everybody know the mornin time is comin
