I lit out from Reno
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
Till the morning came aroundI 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 tonightI ran into the Devil, babe
He loaned me twenty bills
I spent that night in Utah
In a cave up in the hills
