THe majority of people miss the meaning of this song. It not just about a killer, who is tough, and wants to get out of prison.
Its about a person who did something wrong, it could be anything. He didnt listen to what people told him (What his mother told him). And now he is suffering for doing that.
He wishes he was like the people who didnt do anything wrong, the poeple that are enjoying life. (They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars)
He knows that, even though he wants to be free, he never will be free from his emotional prison. (I know i can be free)
But he dreams about a time that he could do better, and be far away from his 'prison. (Far from folsom prison)
And when he gets that, the train will make him happy instead of sad.
This isnt about some hard-core gangsta, who is tough and can kill a guy. Its about a deep person, who is sad about what he did.(I hang my head and cry) And he wants to take it back, and start a real life.
