[VERSE-1]
G C
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
G C
Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around
[CHORUS]
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D Am C D
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
[VERSE-2]
G C
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
G C
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
[CHORUS]
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D Am C D
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
[VERSE-3]

I ran down to the levee, but the devil caught me there
G C
He took my twenty dollar bill, and vanished in the air
[CHORUS]
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D Am C D
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
[BRIDGE]
D
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
C
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight
D
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail,
Am C D
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.
