Gotta Serve Somebody Lyrics

Artist: David Allan Coe
Album: Castles in the Sand

(With Lacy J Dalton)

You may be an ambassador
To England or France
You might like to gamble
You might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight
Champion of the world
You might be a socialite
With a long string of pearls

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

Now you may be a state trooper
You might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor
And you may be blind to change
You may be living in another country under another name

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re still gonna have to serve somebody

May be a construction worker
Workin’ on a home
Might be living in a mansion
You might live in a dome
You may own guns
You may even own tanks
You may be somebody landlord
You may even own banks

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

Now you can call me Jerry
Or you might call me Moe
You may call me David
Or you might call me Coe
You call me RJ
You can call me Ray
You can call me anything
I don’t care what you say

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

It may be the Devil
It might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

Serve somebody
Whoa man you’re gonna have to serve someone
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Serve somebody
Oh it might be the Lord
Serve somebody
