Joe Diffie：Meaning of If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets) Songmeaning

"If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)" is a humorous country song by Joe Diffie about being in debt and making deals with the devil. The lyrics describe a man who is enticed by the promise of a good deal on a car, but ends up taking out a loan and getting deeper into debt. The devil is portrayed as someone who enjoys partying and having a good time, and would have a ball in the narrator's empty pockets. The narrator jokes about selling his soul to get out of debt, but acknowledges that there would be consequences if he were to make a deal with the devil. The song is a light-hearted take on a serious issue, and reflects the common experience of struggling with finances and being tempted to take risky deals to get ahead.
