@colliric It also probably refers to the hope of finally dying and being free from the prison, that's what I get from it, but it's music that reaches your soul and each interptrets it their own way I suppose...

Actually the Midnight Special was in reference to a train that ran in to Parchman Penitentiary in the Mississippi Delta. The legend was that if the train lights would shine on you as it was coming in then your woman was on board, and you had a conjugal visit coming! Look it up. These men wrote what they knew, and what they saw.
