I gotta run to keep from hidin'   I'm bound to keep on ridin'   And I got one more silver dollar   And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no   I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider      Well, these ain't my clothes I'm wearin'   And this old road goes on forever   And I got one more silver dollar   And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no   I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider      Well, I've gone by the point of carin'   Some old bed, I'll soon be sharin'   And I got one more silver dollar   And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no   I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider      I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no   I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider   I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no   I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider      I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no   I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider   I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no   I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
