I got to run to keep from hiding
And I down to keep on riding
I've got one more silver dollar
And I aint going to let them catch me
Aint going to let them catch the midnight rider
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road seems like forever
I've got one more silver dollar
And I aint going to let them catch me
Aint going to let them catch the midnight rider
Yes, I'm past the point of caring
Some things out there I soon be sharing
And I aint going to let them catch me
Aint going to let them catch the midnight rider
