(©Gregg Allman and K. Payne 1970)

Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding,
And I'm bound to keep on riding.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them 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 them 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 them catch the Midnight Rider.

Comments
"Be advised that the line 'And the Road goes on forever'--was provided by bassist Barry Oakley [RIP] and is arguably inspired by JRRT. JRRT was an influence on the Duane Allman [RIP also] who named his daughter Galdriel." [contributed by Mike Foster]
