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.
