Midnight Rider

I knew the Midnight Rider, I left him on the side of the road
He said his mind was made up, he only rides alone
Still running down a legend that has ended
Midnight Rider
He had no money when we met, no silver dollar, only debt
Married to the open road with a trail of hearts to reckon with
He says he's not going to let them catch him, no
Not gonna let them catch him, now
But no one's chasing him anymore
Midnight Rider

He hasn't aged that well, thinning hair and hollow eyes
Moving place to place, scene to scene, nowhere he belongs
He's the end of the American Dream
So where does his ending leave me?
I miss the Midnight Rider, the fabled outlaw, man in black
But we can't go back, can't bring back The Midnight Rider
He's the end of the American Dream
So where does his story leave me?
He says he's not going to let them catch him, no
Not gonna let them catch him, now

But no one's chasing him anymore - Midnight Rider
