Cover art for Midnight Rider lyrics by Allman Brothers Band, The

As Cadillac4life said it is wonderful for nighttime drives when your headed down south with no one on road and just the warm nighttime breeze rushing by. great song, the silver dollar seems like it is his one thing left that he will not give up. he talks about sharing a bed and what not so that must cost money. He obviously will not give the silver dollar away so it must represent something less tangible than money. Maybe your beliefs or heart or soul. maybe it symbolizes something different to everyone
