Friend Of The Devil

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I lit out from reno, I was trailed by twenty houndsDidn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came aroundSet out runnin' but I take my timeA friend of the devil is a friend of mineIf I get home before daylightI just might get some sleep tonightRan into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty billsI spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hillsSet out runnin' but I take my timeA friend of the devil is a friend of mineIf I get home before daylightI just might get some sleep tonightI ran down to the levelBut the devil caught me thereHe took my twenty dollarBill and vanished in the airSet out runnin' but I take my timeA friend of the devil is a friend of mineIf I get home before daylightI just might get some sleep tonightGot two reasons why I cry away each lonely nightThe first one's named sweetAnne marie, and she's my hearts delightThe second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trailAnd if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jailGot a wife in chino, babe, and one in cherokeeThe first one says she's got my childBut it don't look like meSet out runnin' but I take my timeA friend of the devil is a friend of mineIf I get home before daylightI just might get some sleep tonight
