Lyrics

I lit out from reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds<br />
Didnt get to sleep last night till the morning came around.<br />
<br />
Set out runnin but I take my time<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.<br />
<br />
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills<br />
I spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hills.<br />
<br />
Set out runnin but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,<br />
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.<br />
<br />
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there<br />
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.<br />
<br />
Set out runnin but I take my time<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.<br />
<br />
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,<br />
The first ones named sweet anne marie, and shes my hearts delight.<br />
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriffs on my trail,<br />
And if he catches up with me, Ill spend my life in jail.<br />
<br />
Got a wife in chino, babe, and one in cherokee<br />
The first one says shes got my child, but it dont look like me.<br />
<br />
Set out runnin but I take my time,<br />
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,<br />
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.<br />
