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
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
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
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Come on
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Midnight, midnight rider

I Woke Up With This Feeling
There Was Something I Wanted To Say
So I Wrote You A Song.
Lately Girl I've Been Dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout You All Through The Day
So I Wrote You A Song.
Hope The Words Will Be Right
When I See You Tonight,
You'll Know How I Feel.
I'm No Longer Alone,
Think I've Found Me A Home
And I Think It's Real.
I Woke Up With This Feeling
Haven't Felt It For Quite Some Time,
So I Wrote You A Song.
All These Thoughts I've Been Dreaming
Somehow I've Got To Make Them Right,
Got To Make Them Belong.
Everytime That You're Here
Everytime That You're Near
Everything Is Real.
I'm No Longer Alone,
Think I've Found Me A Home,
And I Think It's Real,
So I Wrote You A Song.

I Went Down To The Center Of Town
Beneath My Feet Was The Burning Ground
Just Stood On The Corner As Sexy As Could Be
Said "Hey Good Looking, Walk Away With Me"
I Said "Yeah, I'm Your Stealer,
Come To Steal Your Love."
Sun Was Shining, The World Was Bright,
I Said, "Tell Me Darling, Where You Gonna Be Tonight?"
"Goin' Around The Corner, Where The Music's Loud.
I'm Tired Of The City, Gonna Cat Me Around."
And I Said "Yeah, I'm Your Stealer,
I Come To Steal Your Love."
I Come To
I Come To Steal
Goin' Around The Corner, Where The Music's Loud.
I'm Tired Of The City, Gonna Cat Me Around.
And I Said "Yeah, I'm Your Stealer
I Come To Steal Your Love.
I'm Stealin'...Let Me Steal Now...Come Steal It...
Come Steal It...Come Steal It...

On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
you can listen to the engine rolling out his one note song
you can think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before
but your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do
when your riding sixteen hours and there's nothin much to do
and you don't feel much like riding
you just wish the trip was through
say here I am on the road again
there I am up on the stage
here I go playin' the star again
there I go
Turn the page
well you walk into a restaurant strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you
but you just want to explode
most times you can't hear 'em talk other times you can
all the same ol' cliches, is that a woman or a man
and you always seem outnumbered
you don't dare make a stand
Here I am on the road again
there I am up on the stage
here I go playin' the star again
there I go
turn the page
Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away
every ounce of energy you try to give away
as the sweat pours out your body
like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
with the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
you smoke the day's last cigarette
remembering what she said
Ah here I am on the road again
there I am up on the stage
here I go playin' the star again
there I go
turn the page
Ah here I am on the road again
there I am up on the stage
here I go playin the star again
there I go there I go

Been in Northport, hung on a short short
Livin' with a bottle of wine
With music ladies and burned out babies
I was tryin' to write a couple of lines
Sherriff Gribbs with his grim ad libs
Spoutin' about the crime in the street
And women were screamin' and some was dreamin'
'Bout the crimes between the sheets
You know that music died, hurt my pride
But somehow I pulled through, back in '72
Somehow we made it to Baton Rouge
We stayed inside for a week
We weren't in town for no Mardi Gras
So we decided to sleep
Houston, yes, was a good old guest
Lord knows how bad we wanted to play
But we got homesick for Lincoln Park, imagine
And man we just couldn't stay
Tricky Dick, he played it slick
Something I was afraid he'd do, back in '72
Then all our new born philosophers
Our windows for the world
Pessimistic psuedo-intellectual
Avant-garde-ish pearls
Takin' notes on the holocost
They're copying it down on their sleeve
It was so hip to be negative
So square to try and believe
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new,
Back in '72

There's The Neon Sky That I Know So Well
There's The Smoky Room Where I Chose To Dwell
Though I Hear Your Heart Many Miles Away
The Neon Sky Tells Me I Must Stay
Through The Windy Field Of Another Land
I Have Seen Your Face, Girl, I Have Held Your Hand
Though I Should Be There, With You There Today
The Neon Sky Knows That I Must Stay
Cause The Devil's Red, But His Money's Green
That's Where I'm From, Oh, That's Where I've Been
On A Dusty Stage, Many Years Ago,
I Chose My Road, Still I Hope You Know
That There'll Come A Day With The Neon Sky
When We'll Walk Into The Sun, You And I
Yes So He Calls, Beckons Unto Me
From The Empty Hall, From The Galleries
And So I Must Go, Leave You Here Today
Cause The Neon Sky Orders Me Away
Yes, The Devil's Red, But His Money's Green
That's Where I'm From, Oh, That's Where I've Been

I've been working
I've been working so hard
I've been working
I've been working so hard
I come home make love to you
Makin' love to you, now
I've been grinding
I've been grinding for so long
I've been grinding
Grinding for so long
I come home
I want you in my arms
I want you in my arms
I said woman woman woman woman woman
Woman woman woman woman woman woman woman
Hey
I get so lonely
Get so lonely
Out on the road
Gets so lonely
I've been grinding
I've been grinding for so long
13 years I've been working baby
Working for so long
When I get home
You best be in my arms
I want you in my arms
And I said woman woman woman woman woman
Woman woman woman woman woman woman woman

I Was Born At The Break Of Dawning
In The Last Days Of The Last Great War
My Father Was Not In The Fighting
And My Mother Never Had To Mourn
I Was Raised, Raised And Taught To Hurry
I've Been Hurrying And Worrying All My Days
But Now As I'm Getting Older
I Think I'm Learning How To Run The Race
And With You By My Side, Your Heart Close To Mine,
I've Got Time
I Used To Wake Up Every Morning
And Lie There Far Too Long
I Had No Reason For Living
Everything I Did Was Wrong
With You, And Your Faith In Me,
Oh, How You Made My Whole Life Shine
And I've Got Time
You, And Your Faith In Me,
Little Girl, You Made My Whole Life Shine
And I've Got Time
. . .
