I gotta run to keep from hidin';
Im bound to keep on ridin'.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider. 

Well, these ain't my clothes Im wearin',
An' this ol' road goes on forever.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider. 

Well, I've gone by the point of carin';
Some ol' bed, Ill soon be sharin'.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider. 

An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider. 

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider. 

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider. 

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider.
