Friend of the Devil

Grateful Dead

Transposer:

Intro : (4x) I 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, 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, babe, 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.

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme en fuite, poursuivi par la loi, tout en croisant des figures symboliques comme le diable. Il se retrouve à jongler entre ses erreurs et ses regrets, cherchant à retrouver la paix et à éviter la prison. Son Odyssée est marquée par des rencontres énigmatiques et des choix qui le hantent, notamment sa relation avec deux femmes et les conséquences de ses actions. Le ton est à la fois léger et sombre, illustrant le thème de la quête de liberté face à des forces oppressives. L'homme accepte son destin tout en espérant pouvoir trouver un moment de répit avant l’aube. C’est une balade empreinte de réflexions sur la vie, l'amour et la rédemption.
