You Got To Serve Somebody

(albüm: Carry Me Home - 2022)

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 may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody (serve somebody)
You've got to serve somebody (serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage
You might have girls at your command, women in a cage
You might be a businessman or some high-degree thief
You may call me doctor or you may call me chief

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes (serve somebody)
You've got to serve somebody (serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil, may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody (serve somebody)

You may call me preacher with this spiritual pride
You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side
Working in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair
You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir

Serve somebody (serve somebody)
Yeah, serve somebody (serve somebody)
Well, it may be the devil, may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody (serve somebody)

Serve somebody
You've got to serve somebody
Serve somebody
You've got to serve somebody

I don't know about you but I choose to serve the lord
I'm going to serve him until I die
He's a bright morning star
He's the prince of peace
He's a doctor he's a mighty good doctor y'all
He's the lawyer in a courtroom
He's my friend he's my friend
And I can call him anytime I need
You see I've got a royal telephone
And the line is never busy
I don't need no quarter and I don't need no dime
I just fall down on my knees
Father, father, father, my father
Father I stretch my hand to thee
No other help no other help I know

Well, it may be the devil, may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody (serve somebody)
It may be the devil, may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody (serve somebody)
It may be the devil, may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve
Sure enough you got to serve somebody (serve somebody)
