I gotta run to keep from hidin'
I'm bound to keep on a ridin'
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider.

Well, these ain't my clothes I'm wearin'
This old road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider.

I've gone by the point of carin'
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin'
I got one more silver dollar
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me
No I ain't gonna let 'em catch
A midnight rider...
