Night Flight

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!
