Midnight Rider Lyrics

I gotta run to keep from hidin'
I'm bound to keep on ridin'
An' I got one more silver dollar
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let em catch the midnight rider
Well, these ain't my clothes I'm wearin'
An' this ol' road goes on forever
An' I got one more silver dollar
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
Well, I've gone by the point of carin'
Some ol' bed, I'll soon be sharin'
An' I got one more silver dollar
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
An' I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
I ain't gonna let 'em catch me, no
I ain't gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
