Well Ive got to run to keep from hiding

And Im bound to keep on riding

And Ive got one more silver dollar

But Im not gonna let them catch me no

Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider

And I dont own the clothes Im wearing

And the road goes on forever

And Ive got one more silver dollar

But Im not gonna let them catch me no

Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider

And Ive gone by the point of caring

Some old bed Ill soon be sharing

And Ive got one more silver dollar

But Im not gonna let em catch me no

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

But Im not gonna let em catch me no

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

But Im not gonna let em catch me no

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
