I gotta run to keep from hiding
I'm bound to keep on a riding
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't going to let 'em catch me
No, I ain't going to let 'em catch
A midnight rider
Well, these ain't my clothes I'm wearing
This old road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't going to let 'em catch me
No, I ain't going to let 'em catch
A midnight rider
I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't going to let 'em catch me
No, I ain't going to let 'em catch
A midnight rider
