But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
And I've got one more silver dollar

Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no

And the road goes on forever
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
And I've gone by the point of caring
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
And I've got one more silver dollar

And I've got one more silver dollar
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
