If the Devil Danced in Empty Pockets
Joe Diffie · Essential Joe Diffie [2003]
The Opthom Motors had a hell of a sale downtown yesterday
Word got round 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've got a two-tone Nash, out behind my barn
Chorus
If the Devil danced in empty pockets he'd have a ball in mine
A 9ft grand a 10 piece band and a 12 girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot and a three piece suit
Charge 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets he'd have a ball in mine
He said friend this ain't the end let's see what we can do
If you own a home I've got a loan tailor made for you
Then above the raquet a voice in my jacket said "I'll just hold the note"
The Devl made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote
Chorus
They say debt is a bottomless pit where the Devil likes to play
I'd sell my soul to get outta this hole but there'd be hell to pay
Chorus
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
Word got round 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've got a two-tone Nash, out behind my barn
Chorus
If the Devil danced in empty pockets he'd have a ball in mine
A 9ft grand a 10 piece band and a 12 girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot and a three piece suit
Charge 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil danced in empty pockets he'd have a ball in mine
He said friend this ain't the end let's see what we can do
If you own a home I've got a loan tailor made for you
Then above the raquet a voice in my jacket said "I'll just hold the note"
