Lyrics:

I gotta run to keep from hidin';
I'm bound to keep on ridin'.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

Well, these ain't my clothes I'm wearin',
An' this ol' road goes on forever.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

Well, I've gone by the point of carin';
Some ol' bed, I'll soon be sharin'.
An' I got one more silver dollar,
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.

I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no:
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
