Verse

I lit out from Reno, I was

trailed by twenty hounds

Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the

morning came around.

Chorus

Set out runnin' but I take my time

friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight, I

just might get some

sleep to

night.

Verse 2

Ran into the devil, babe, he

loaned me twenty bills

spent the night in Utah in a

cave up in the hills.

Chorus *

Set out runnin' but I take my time

friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight, I

just might get some

sleep to

night.

Verse 3

ran down to the levee but the

devil caught me there

took my twenty dollar bill and

vanished in the air.

Chorus *

Set out runnin' but I take my time

friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight, I

just might get some

sleep to

night.

Bridge

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.

Verse 5

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.

Chorus *

Set out runnin' but I take my time

friend of the devil is a friend of mine

I get home before daylight, I

just might get some

sleep to

night.
