Friend of the Devil Lyrics

I split out of Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around.

Still out front, gonna 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 into air.

Still out front, gonna 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 Emily, 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.
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
Trying to find the devil, but I doubt I ever will

Still out front, gonna 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 Emily, 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 and one's in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.

Still out front, gonna 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...
