Think Twice
Makoto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
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.

Well, I've got to run to keep from hidin',
I have to keep moving to avoid being caught or seen.
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'.
I'm obligated to continue traveling or escaping.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
I have one last bit of money left.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no,
However, I am determined to not get caught by anyone.
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
I won't allow anyone to catch me, the Midnight Rider.
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
I don't have anything of my own, not even the clothes on my back.
And the road goes on forever,
I have an endless journey ahead of me.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But despite that, I still have one last bit of money left.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Still, I will not let anyone catch me.
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
I refuse to let anyone catch the Midnight Rider, which is me.
And I've gone by the point of caring,
I no longer care about anyone or anything else.
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,
Soon enough, I'll be sleeping in some old, unfamiliar bed.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But even so, I still have that one last bit of money left.
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
And even with everything else lost, I am still determined to not get caught.
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
No one can catch me, the Midnight Rider.
