Lyrics David Allan Coe

David Allan Coe

Gotta Serve Somebody

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
