Midnight RiderBob Seger

Songwriter: Gregg Allman Robert Payne

Producer: Punch Andrews Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
I got to run to keep from hidin'
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'
I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

[Verse 2]
I got only the clothes I'm wearin'
And the road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
And I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

[Verse 3]
I own all the clothes I'm wearin'
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin'
Got me one more silver dollar
And I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider

[Chorus]
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me

[Chorus]
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me

[Outro]
Come on
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Midnight, midnight rider

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
