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 'em catch the Midnight Rider
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
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
I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I won't be sharing
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
Oh, I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
