well i've got to run

to keep from hidin'

and i'm bound to keep on ridin'

and i've got one more silver dollar

but i'm not gonna let em 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 em 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

but i'm not gonna let em catch me no

not gonna let em catch

the midnight rider

no i'm not gonna let em catch me no

not gonna let em catch

the midnight rider

no i'm not gonna let em catch me no

not gonna let em catch

the midnight rider

no i'm not gonna let em catch me no

not gonna let em catch

the midnight rider
