I've got to run to keep from hidin',
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'.
I've got one more silver dollar,
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
I've got one more silver dollar,
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

I've gone past the point of caring,
Come on back soon be sharing,
I've got one more silver dollar,
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Ain't gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider...
