Friend of the Devil (Grateful Dead cover) Lyrics
I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night
Till the morning came around
I set out running 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 into the Devil,
He loaned me twenty bills
I spent that night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
I set out running but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
I ran down to the levee
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air
I set out running but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
First one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby the sheriff's on my trail
If he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail
Got a wife in Chino, baby
And one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child
But it don't look like me
I set out running but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I might get some sleep tonight
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
First one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby the sheriff's on my trail
If he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail
Got a wife in Chino, baby
And one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child
But it does not look like me
I set out running but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I might get some sleep tonight
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night
Till the morning came around
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might get some sleep tonight
He loaned me twenty bills
I spent that night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
But the Devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill
And he vanished in the air
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight
First one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby the sheriff's on my trail
If he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail
And one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child
But it don't look like me
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I might get some sleep tonight
First one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby the sheriff's on my trail
If he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail
And one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child
But it does not look like me
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I might get some sleep tonight

this song is so good- the constant chorus is good for picking up the words fast- it's just a - right on- song. i didn't know it was a grateful dead cover- box of rain rocks. i'm just glad this song exists. rock out.
