[Verse 1]
I got to run to keep from hidin'
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'
I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

[Verse 2]
I got only the clothes I'm wearin'
And the road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
And I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

[Verse 3]
I own all the clothes I'm wearin'
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin'
Got me one more silver dollar
And I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

[Chorus]
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
[Chorus]
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me

[Outro]
Come on
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Midnight, midnight rider
