"If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)" is a song written by Ken Spooner and Kim Williams, and recorded by American country music singer Joe Diffie.
It was released in April 1991 as the third single from his debut album, A Thousand Winding Roads.
Cashbox magazine published a positive review of the song, stating that it "focuses on a much lighter storyline, compared to previous releases.
This cut humorously sheds a 'devil-made-me-do-it' theme swallowed up by a fun and bouncy tempo.
Koe Wetzel and Jack Ingram covered the song on Hardy's 2024 mixtape, Hixtape: Vol.
