GGC
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
GC
Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
AmA friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DAmD
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
GC
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
GC
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
AmA friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DAmD
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
GC
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
GC
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
AmA friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DAmD
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
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,
AmCD
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.
GC
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
GC
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
AmA friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DAmD
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
