A question about "Friend of the Devil"?

In the song he sings:

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.

though in the song, it is never mention what did he do so wrong he would spend a life time in jail

what do you think his crime was?

    You have the lyrics wrong. It should be "The second one is prison BAIT, the sherriff's on my trail." Meaning she is under age and if he gets caught screwing a minor he'll spend his life in jail.
