Friend of the Devil

I lit up from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
Till the morning came aroundI set out running but I'll 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 ran into the Devil, babe
He loaned me twenty bills
I spent that night in Utah
In a cave up in the hillsI set out running 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 ran down to the levee
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the airI set out running 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 tonightGot two reasons why I cry
Away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie
And she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby
The sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jailGot a wife in Chino, babe
And one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child
But it don't look like meI set out running 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 tonightGot two reasons why I cry
Away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie
And she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby
The sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jailGot a wife in Chino, babe
The one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child
But it don't look like meI set out running 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
