The Devil walked into Linebaugh's on a rainy Nashville night While the lost souls sat and sipped their soup in the sickly neon light. And the Devil, he looked around the room, then got down on his knees. He says, "Is there one among you scum who'll roll the dice with me?" Well, Red, he just strums his guitar, pretending not to hear. And Eddie, he just looks away and sips on his beer. Vince, he says, "Not me, I'll pass, I've had my share of Hell" And kept scribbling on a napkin, some song she's thought would sell. Ronnie just kept whisperin' low to the snuff queen clutching his sleeve, And somebody coughed, and the Devil scoffed, and turned on his heels to leave. "Hold on," says a voice from the back of the room. "'fore you walk out that door. If you're lookin' for some action, friend, well, I've rolled them dice before." And there stood Billy Markham, he's been on the scene for years, Singin' all them raunchy songs that the town didn't want to hear. He'd been cut and bled a thousand times, and his eyes were wise and sad, All his songs were the songs of the street, and all his luck was bad. "I know you," says Billy Markham, "from many a dark and funky place, But you always spoke in a different voice and wore a different face. Me, I've gambled here on Music Row with hustlers and with whores, And, Hell, I ain't afraid to roll them devilish dice of yours." "Well, then, get down," says the Devil" just as if you was gonna pray, And take these dice in your luckless hand and I'll tell you how this game is played. You get one roll and you bet your soul and if you roll thirteen you win, And all the joys of flesh and gold are yours to touch and spend. But if that thirteen don't come up, then you can kiss your ass goodbye And will your useless bones to God, 'cause your goddamn soul is mine!" "Thirteen?" says Billy Markham. "Hell, I've played in tougher games. I've loved ambitious women and I've rode on wheelless trains. So gimme a room, you stinkin'
