Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding

And I'm bound to keep on riding

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no

Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider



And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing

And the road goes on forever

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no

Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider



And I've gone by the point of caring

Some old bed I'll soon be sharing

And I've got one more silver dollar



(Repeat three times and Fade)

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no

Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider
