Willie Nelson - Gotta Serve Somebody Lyrics
(originally by Bob Dylan)You may be an ambassador to England or FranceYou may like to gamble, you might like to danceYou may be the heavyweight champion of the worldYou may be a socialite with a long string of pearls.But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeedYou're gonna have to serve somebody,It may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebody.Might be a rock'n' roll adict prancing on the stageMight have money and drugs at your commands, women in a cageYou may be a business man or some high degree thiefThey may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief.But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeedYou're gonna have to serve somebody,Well, it may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebody.You may be a state trooper, you might be an young turkYou may be the head of some big TV networkYou may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lameYou may be living in another country under another name.But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yesYou're gonna have to serve somebody,Well, it may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebody.You may be a construction worker working on a homeYou may be living in a mansion or you might live in a domeYou might own guns and you might even own tanksYou might be somebody's landlord you might even own banks.But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yesYou're gonna have to serve somebody,Well, it may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebody.You may be a preacher with your spiritual prideYou may be a city councilman taking bribes on the sideYou may be working in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hairYou may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir.But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yesYou're gonna have to serve somebody,Well, it may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebody.Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silkMight like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milkYou might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat breadYou may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed.But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeedYou're gonna have to serve somebody,It may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebody.You may call me Terry, you may call me JimmyYou may call me Bobby, you may call me ZimmyYou may call me R.J., you may call me RayYou may call me anything but no matter what you say.You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeedYou're gonna have to serve somebody,Well, it may be the devil or it may be the LordBut you're gonna have to serve somebody.
