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
