Dance with the Devil

I come home all tired and weary
Worked all day like a slave
Had a fight with the boss who says
I'm a loss and without me
All the money he'd save
Then the car got a flat in the pouring rain
It took me two hours just to move it again
I never in my life want to spend another day like today

Now I'm home it can only get better
Then I see the front door left ajar
She's standing there kicking and screaming
About what she found hid in the car
No, it couldn't our son about an angel
So the only other culprit is me
Then I recalled some advice
That my Daddy once related to me

I would climb all the highest mountains
Swim all the deepest seas
Sell buckets of snow to the Eskimos
Sell honey to the bumblebees
I'd fight any Sumo wrestler
Leave him begging on the floor on his knees
And I'd rather dance with the devil
Than argue with a woman 'bout love

When the storm settled down to a silence
Her tears finally got in the way
I told her, her story was crazy
She should listen to what I had to say
The guys put it there to cause trouble
They had no other motive it seems
Then I sighed with relief
That I didn't break her heart and come clean

I would climb all the highest mountains
Swim all the deepest seas
Sell buckets of snow to the Eskimos
Sell honey to the bumblebees
I'd fight any Sumo wrestler
Leave him begging on the floor on his knees
And I'd rather dance with the devil
Than argue with a woman 'bout love.
