I gotta run to keep from hidin'

An' I'm 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 I'm 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

I've gone by the point of carin'

Some ol' bed  I'll soon be sharin'

An' I got one more 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 the midnight rider
