Lyrics

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding,

Feeling the need to keep moving to avoid being caught or discovered.

And I'm bound to keep on riding.

Committed to continuing the journey or pursuit.

And I've got one more silver dollar,

Having one more coin, possibly indicating a limited resource or bargaining tool.


But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no,

Refusing to allow oneself to be captured.

Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

Declaring the determination not to be captured, emphasizing a sense of freedom and autonomy.


And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,

Not possessing material possessions, suggesting a transient or nomadic lifestyle.

And the road goes on forever,

Implying an endless journey or a path without an apparent end.

And I've got one more silver dollar,

Repeating ownership of a single silver dollar, highlighting its importance or scarcity.


But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no

Reiterating the refusal to be captured, asserting independence.

Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

Stating the determination to avoid capture, reinforcing a sense of freedom and resistance.


And I've gone by the point of caring,

Indicating a lack of concern or indifference towards certain things.

Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,

Expecting to soon share a place to rest, implying fatigue or weariness from the journey.

And I've got one more silver dollar,

Reaffirming ownership of a single silver dollar, possibly as a symbol of survival.


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

Restating the refusal to be captured, emphasizing determination and resistance.

Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.

Reasserting the commitment to avoid capture, emphasizing personal freedom.


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

Reaffirming the refusal to be captured, asserting autonomy and freedom.

Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.

Emphasizing the determination not to be captured, asserting personal liberty.


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

Repeating the determination not to be captured, underscoring independence.

Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.

Reiterating the commitment not to be captured, emphasizing freedom.
