Artist: Counting Crows Album: Films About Ghosts (2003) Title: Friend Of The Devil
Lyrics Friend Of The DevilI lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds Didn't get to sleep last 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
Well, I ran down to the levee, but the Devil caught me there He took my twenty dollar bill, and he 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 Sherrif's on my trail And if he catches up to me, I'll spend my life in jail
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
I 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 Sherrif's on my trail And if he catches up to me, I'll spend my life in jail
I say I got a wife in Chino, baby, I got one in Cherokee And the first one says she's got my child, but it does not 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 |
