Friend Of The Devil Lyrics - Echoes Of The Outlaw Roadshow - Counting Crows

I lit out from Reno 

I was trailed by twenty hounds 

I didn't get to sleep that night 

Till the morning came around 

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 

Ran into the devil 

He loaned me twenty bills 

I spent the night in Utah 

In 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 

Yeah well I ran down to the levee 

But the devil caught me there 

He took my twenty dollar bill 

And vanished in the air 

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 

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, 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, baby 

And one in Cherokee 

The 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 

Come on Charley 

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, baby 

The sheriff's on my trail 

And if he catches up with me 

I'll spend my life in jail 

I say I got a wife in Chino, baby 

And one in Cherokee 

The 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
