Friend of the Devil Lyrics

I lit 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 ... 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 it 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 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 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 ... 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 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 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.
