Friend of the Devil — текст песни (Counting crows)

(Garcia/Hunter/Dawson)

I lit out from Reno,
I was trailed by twenty hounds
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, babe,
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.

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, babe,
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.

Extra Verse

You can borrow from the devil
You can borrow from a friend
The devil`ll loan ya twenty
But your friend got only ten
