Well, I´ve got to run to keep from hiding
And I´m bound to keep on riding
And I´ve got one more silver dollar
But I´m not gonna let them 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 them 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 them catch the Midnight Rider

But I´m not gonna let ´em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider

But I´m not gonna let ´em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider
