Friend of the Devil

I lit it out from Reno

I was trailed by twenty hounds

Didn't get to sleep last night

'Til the morning came aroundSet 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 tonightWell, I ran into the devil

And he loaned me twenty bills

I spent the night in Utah

In a cave up in the hillsI set out runnin' but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before daylight

Just might get some sleep tonight

But I ran down to the levee

But the devil caught me there

And he took my twenty dollars

And he slicked back all my hairI set out runnin' but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before daylight

Just might get some sleep tonightI've got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's 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 jailWell, I got a wife in Chino, baby

One in Cherokee

One that says she's got my child

She 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 tonightI 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
