Lyrics If the Devil Danced in Empty Pockets - Joe Diffie

If the Devil Danced in Empty Pockets

Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday,
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay.
When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on.
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I’d raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine.
Well he said friend it ain’t the end let’s see what I can do.
If you own a home, I’ve got a loan, tailor made for you.
Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, «I'll tote the note.»
The devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I’d raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine.
They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play.
I’d sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there’d be hell to pay.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine.
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I’d raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine
