Lyrics
I lit it out from Reno
I was trailed by 20 hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
'Til the morning came around
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the devil
And he loaned me 20 bills
Spent the night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the levee
But the devil caught me there
Took my 20 dollar bill
And vanished in the air
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
First one's named sweet Anne Marie, she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, babe, sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me, you know I'll spend my life in jail
Got a wife in Chino, baby
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
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
First one's named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, babe, sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me, you know I'll spend my life in jail
Got a wife in Chino, baby
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
Friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
