I got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

I got only the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
And I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

I own all the clothes I'm wearing
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
Got me one more silver dollar
And I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

Not gonna let them catch me
Not gonna let them catch me
Not gonna let them catch me
Not gonna let them catch me
Not gonna let them catch me
Not gonna let them catch me
Not gonna let them catch me
Not gonna let them catch me
Come on
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Midnight, midnight rider
