Friend Of The Devil (Live) Songtext / Lyric

I lit out from Reno

I was trailed by twenty hounds

Didn't get to sleep that night 'til 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



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



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, babe, 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, 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



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, babe, 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, babe

And one in Cherokee

The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me



I 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
