Lyric Friend Of The Devil

I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn t get to sleep last night till the morning came around.

Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.

Set out runnin but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.

Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first one s named Sweet Anne Marie, and she s my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff s on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, I ll spend my life in jail.

Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
The first one says she s got my child, but it don t look like me.

Set out runnin but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
