Friends Of The Devil Lyrics

I lit out from Reno

I was trailed by twenty hounds

I didn't get to sleep that 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

He loaned me twenty 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

If I get home before daylight

I just might get some sleep tonight



Yeah well I ran down to the levee

But the devil caught me there

He took my twenty dollar bill

And vanished in the air



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



Got two reasons why I cry

Away each lonely night

The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie

And she's my hearts delight



The second one is prison, baby

The sheriff's on my trail

And if he catches up with me

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

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before daylight

I just might get some sleep tonight



Come on Charley



Got two reasons why I cry

Away each lonely night

The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie

And she's my hearts delight



The second one is prison, baby

The sheriff's on my trail

And if he catches up with me

I'll spend my life in jail



I say I 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

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

If I get home before daylight

I just might get some sleep tonight
