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 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 Well, I ran into the devil And he loaned me twenty bills I spent the night in Utah In a cave up in the hills I 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 hair I 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 I'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 jail Well, 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 tonight I 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
