I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
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 them catch the midnight rider
I'm going round carrying
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
I'm not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight ride
