The Allman Brothers Band – Midnight Rider

The Allman Brothers Band – Midnight Rider – Live, 1990’s

Today’s music just doesn’t have it, and what it means to have a song that lasts through the ages. This song is almost 54 years old and it’s still as cool as the day it was made!

Lyrics:
Well, I’ve got to run to keep from hidin’
And I’m bound to keep on ridin’
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

And 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

And 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
I’m not gonna let ’em catch the midnight rider
No, I’m not gonna let ’em catch me, no
I’m not gonna let ’em catch the midnight rider
Not gonna let ’em catch the midnight rider
