I lit out from reno, i was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn’t get to sleep that 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
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
Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and he 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
The first one’s named sweet anne marie, and she’s my heart’s delight
The second one is prison, baby, 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
First one say she 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
The first one’s named sweet anne marie, and she’s my heart’s delight
The second one is prison, baby, 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
First one say she 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
