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....
