Lyrics

Midnight Rider

Well, I got to run to keep from hiding And I'm bound to keep on riding And I have one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing And the road goes on forever And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider And I've gone past the point of caring Some old bed I'll soon be sharing But I ain't got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
