Well, Ive got to run to keep from hiding,
And Im bound to keep on riding.
And Ive got one more silver dollar,
But Im not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider.

And I dont own the clothes Im wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And Ive got one more silver dollar,
But Im not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider.

And Ive gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed Ill soon be sharing,
And Ive got one more silver dollar,

But Im not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.

But Im not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.

But Im not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.
