the light of the Midnight Special
belongs only to convicts

everyone else has to find
their own transportation to freedom

hey you with the dead sister,
there's no way out, you bum

psss, woman with the cheating husband
put away your butcher knife
hard row to hoe, you know

meth-head, there's nothing to see here
just push on to your next face-eaten dream

everyone, with your assortment
of miseries and shackles,
you got no right
to the Midnight Special's light

move along
move along

I quite like this. It flows along smoothly and gradually and the ending two lines reverberate in their meaning.

"move along
move along"

Great work, Terry!
