Stephen Stills - Midnight Rider lyrics

rate me

by Gregg Allman

I've got to run to keep from hiding

And I'm bound to keep on riding;

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let `em catch me, no.

Not gonna let `em catch the midnight rider.

I don't own the clothes I'm wearing

And the road goes on forever

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let `em catch me, no

Not gonna let `em catch the midnight rider.

I've gone by the point of caring.

Some old bed I'll soon be sharing

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let `em catch me, no.

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;

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

No, I'm not gonna let `em catch the midnight rider.
