Joe Cocker - Midnight Rider 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
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

    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

    No I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
    Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
    No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
    I'm not gonna let them catch the midnight rider
    But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
    Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

    Saw Joe Cocker on this tour.. w the Chris Stainton Band. SMU's Moody Coliseum Dallas, Texas January, 1972. A band called "Bang" 3-piece hard rock act was #2 in the lineup w some guy sitting on a stool and strumming an acoustic guitar while singing. Had no clue as to who he was. Sadly.. he was booed off stage. And said a few humble words in a sort of an apology. And left the stage. Cruel on the part of crowd members.. mostly upfront close to the stage. Everyone was hollering out for Joe. Then, Bang came on. Mixture between Sabbath + Zeppelin.. 3-piece. Rocked the crowd pretty much. Then, it was Joe and Co. Big band w a huge sound. Organ/piano.. lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, congas, chick back-up singers, 4-piece horn section, etc... and Joe. Approximately 12-13 (seems I remember counting 13 when @ the concert.)
