Friend Of The Devil
I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by 20 hounds (yeah, yeah)
I didn't get to sleep that night
'Til the mornin' 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, baby
He loaned me twenty 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
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my heart's delight
The second one is a prison, baby, the 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
The first one says she's 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
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my heart's delight
The second one is prison, baby, the 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
The first one says she's 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
(Yeah, yeah)
That's good
(Let me see)
