run

to keep from hid in’.

And I’m bound

to keep on rid in’.

And I’ve got one more

But I’m (Gm7)not gon’ let ’em catch me, no, (C)not gon’ let ’em catch the mid night rid er.

And I don’t own

the clothes I’m wear in’.

And the road

goes on for ev er.

And I’ve got one more

sil ver dol lar.

But I’m (Gm7)not gon’ let ’em catch me, no, (C)not gon’ let ’em catch the mid night rid er.

And I don’t

And I’m gone

No, I’m (Gm7)not gon’ let ’em catch me, no, (C)not gon’ let ’em catch the mid night rid er.

No, I’m (Gm7)not gon’ let ’em catch me, no, (C)not gon’ let ’em catch the mid night rid er.
