I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by 20 hounds
I 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
I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I ran into the devil and he loaned me 20 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
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 20 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
I get home before daylight
I 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 hearts delight
Second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
If he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail
Well, I've got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
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
I get home before daylight, I 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 hearts delight
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
You can borrow through the devil, you can borrow from a friend
The devil gave you twenty dollar bill
That's a friend beyond me that time
Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
