I lit up from reno
i was trailed by 20 hounds
didnand't get to sleep that night
till the morning came around
I set out running but iand'll 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
he loaned me twenty bills
i spent that night in utah
in a cave up in the hills
I set out running 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
I ran down to the levee
but the devil caught me there
he took my twenty dollar bill
and he vanished in the air
I set out running 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
Got two reasons why i cry
away each lonely night
first oneand's named sweet anne marie
and sheand's my heartand's delight
second one is prison, baby
the sheriffand's on my trail
if he catches up with me
iand'll spend my life in jail
Got a wife in chino, babe
and one in cherokee
first one says sheand's got my child
but it donand't look like me
I set out running 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
