And 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 wearin
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 carin
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin
And I've just 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
