Midnight Rider

I got to run
To keep from hidin'
And I'm bound
To keep on ridin'
I got one more silver dollar
But
I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider
I got only the clothes
I'm wearin'
And the road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
And
I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider
I own all the clothes
I'm wearin'
Some old bed
I'll soon be sharin'
Got me one more silver dollar
And
I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Come on
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Midnight, midnight rider
