Friend Of The Devil Lyrics

I took off from Reno
Chased by twenty hounds
Ran me all night away
'Til the morning came around

I started out running, gonna 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

I ran into the devil, babe
And he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

I started out running, gonna 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

Oh I ran down to the levee
But the devil caught me there
He took his twenty dollars
And then vanished in the air

I started out running, gonna 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

I got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night:
The first one's name is Anne Marie
And she's my heart's delight
The second one is prison
The sheriff's on my trail
If he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jail

Oh I've got a wife in Chino
A wife in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child
But it don't look like me

I started out running, gonna 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
