I lit out from reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
|
Didn't get to sleep last night till 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
|
I spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hills.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
|
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
|
The first ones named sweet anne marie, and she's my hearts delight.
|
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriffs on my trail,
|
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.
|

Repeat Bridge
|
|
Got a wife in chino, babe, and one in cherokee
|
The 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,
|
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
