Well, I know my time ain't easy
And the line is growing long
For my baby, she's still waiting
But I, I ain't gonna let them catch me, no
I ain't gonna let them catch the midnight rider
Well, my home is on the south side
But my heart is in between
And the passions I've been saving
[2x:]
But I, I ain't gonna let them catch me, no
I ain't gonna let them catch the midnight rider
Like a beast without a home
That will shine both day and night
I will always be returning
[2x:]
But I, I ain't gonna let them catch me, no
I ain't gonna let them catch the midnight rider
I know the time ain't easy
And the line is growing long
Cause my baby, she's still waiting
[2x:]
But I, I ain't gonna let them catch me, no
I ain't gonna let them catch the midnight rider
