The Midnight Special - Creedence Clearwater Revival (with lyrics and photos)

The Midnight Special by Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) vividly depicts the story of the train that symbolizes hope and freedom, through its bright, upbeat rhythm and John Fogerty’s soulful, gritty vocals. The theme of prisoners entrusting their dreams of freedom to the light of the train shining through the night gives the song a sense of courage and optimism. Blending rock and blues in a way that feels natural and timeless, it’s a song that captures the enduring spirit of America.
