i got one silver dollar

[EmiliaLynn]

Well, hold on tight to that shiny silver dollar! If you're quoting the legendary Allman Brothers Band song "Midnight Rider," and it certainly sounds like you are, then you've got more to worry about than just your finances.

With that one silver dollar in hand, the next line suggests you're "not gonna let 'em catch you, no." So, the real question is, who is "them" and what did you do? The road apparently goes on forever, my friend, so you'd best get riding. Just try not to lose that dollar along the way; it's all you've got left.
