Well I’ve got to run
To keep from hiding
And I’m bound to keep on riding
And I got one more silver dollar
But I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
And I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
And I don’t own the clothes I’m wearing
And the road those are forever
And I got one more silver dollar
But I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
And I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
And I’ve gone fast but going to carry
Some old bed I’ll soon be sharing
And I got one more silver dollar
But I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
And I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
And I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
And I ain’t gonna let’em catch me no
I ain’t gonna let’em catch
The midnight rider
