Well I [bad word] to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
I'm 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 got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I don't pass the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
And I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
Well I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight...
