Counting Crows - Friend Of The Devil Lyrics
(Garcia/Hunter/Dawson)I lit out from Reno,I was trailed by twenty houndsDidn't get to sleep that night'Till the morning came around.Set out runnin' but I take my timeA friend of the devil is a friend of mineIf I get home before daylight,I just might get some sleep tonight.Ran into the devil, babe,He loaned me twenty billsI spent the night in UtahIn 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 leveeBut the devil caught me thereHe took my twenty dollar billAnd vanished in the air.Set out runnin' but I take my timeA friend of the devil is a friend of mineIf I get home before daylight,I just might get some sleep tonight.Got two reasons why I cryAway each lonely night,The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie,And she's my hearts delight.The second one is prison, baby,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 CherokeeThe 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.Extra VerseYou can borrow from the devilYou can borrow from a friendThe devil'll loan ya twentyBut your friend got only ten
