Midnight Rider
Embracing Freedom: Midnight Rider's Escape from Confinement
Lyrics
Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding
The singer needs to keep moving to avoid being discovered or caught.
And I'm bound to keep on riding
They are compelled to continue traveling or journeying.
And I've got one more silver dollar
There is a reference to having one more unit of money.
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
The singer is determined not to be captured.
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
Reaffirming the refusal to be caught by whoever pursues them.
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
The singer doesn't possess much, potentially indicating a transient lifestyle.
And the road goes on forever
The journey seems endless or continuous.
And I've got one more silver dollar
Another mention of having a silver dollar.
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Reiteration of the determination to evade capture.
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
Refusal to be caught by those seeking them.
And I've gone by the point of caring
The singer doesn't care anymore, suggesting a resignation or detachment.
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
Anticipating resting in an old bed soon, indicating weariness or fatigue.
And I've got one more silver dollar
Again, a mention of having one more silver dollar.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Continued determination to avoid being caught.
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider
Reaffirmation of not allowing capture by pursuers.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Repeated determination not to be captured.
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider
Continued refusal to be caught.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Reiteration of the resolve not to be captured.
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider
Final insistence on avoiding capture by those pursuing the Midnight Rider.
