I lit out from

Set out runnin

 but I take my

 time

A friend of th

e devil is a f

riend of mine
             
If I get home 

              
before dayligh

            
t, I just migh

[Bridge]

Got two reason

s why I cry aw

ay each lonely

 night,

The first ones

 named sweet A

nne Marie, and

 she's my hear

ts delight.

The second one

 is prison, ba

be, the sherif

fs on my trail

,
            
And if he catc

              
hes up with me

             
, I'll spend m

          
y life in jail

.

[Verse 4]
         
Got a wife in 

           
chino, babe, a

          
nd one in Cher

  
okee
             
The first one 

        
says she's got

             
 my child, but

          
 it don't look

       
 like me.

[Chorus]

Set out runnin

 but I take my

 time,

A friend of th

e devil is a f

riend of mine,
             
If I get home 

              
before dayligh

            
t, I just migh

              
t get some sle

     
ep tonight.
