    Lyrics:
    You may be an ambassador to England or France
    You may 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, yes
    Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody
    You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage
    You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage
    You may be a business man or some high-degree thief
    They may call you doctor or they may call you chief
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes you are
    You're gonna have to serve somebody
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody
    You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk
    You may be the head of some big TV network
    You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame
    You may be living in another country under another name
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes you are
    You're gonna have to serve somebody
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody
    You may be a construction worker working on a home
    You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome
    You might own guns and you might even own tanks
    You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
    You're gonna have to serve somebody
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody
    You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride
    You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side
    You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair
    You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
    You're gonna have to serve somebody
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody
    Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk
    Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk
    You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread
    You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
    Indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody
    You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy
    You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy
    You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray
    You may call me anything but no matter what you say
    Still, you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes
    You're gonna have to serve somebody
    Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
    But you're gonna have to serve somebody

    Was 16 when this came out and my older sister gave it to me on vinyl for that birthday . That combination of Knopfler and the organ with Dylan’s lyrics captivated me and was a catalyst in my journey which to this day , 32 years of marriage and four children later embraces serving Him. Dylan can never know how pivotal his art has been in my walk.
    I may not be forever young but I am forever grateful !

      @@marianm7468 I've heard similar things and I've had my own suspicions about Bobby Zimmerman as well. One of my favorite sayings, " Even a broken clock is correct twice each day. " may be applicable here. Though he may be aligned with the fallen one, the overall wisdom in his poetry is present. " It may be the devil or it may be the LORD .... ya gotta serve somebody. " If his choice is indeed the adversary , his wisdom ends with the poetry, in my opinion. My service is to our Heavenly Father , the All Mighty Creator. Have a good evening and a Blessed tomorrow, Marian . Thanks for your insightful comment.

      Purple Sage Blessings that’s awesome to hear. At that time my experience with local churches & Christian book shops in terms of Bob Dylan’s 3 gospel/Christian albums was disappointing. They didn’t & wouldn’t stock these albums & fellow believers were critical of & judgemental about his testimony & his confession of faith. Additionally, many of his fans were enraged at the same time. Interesting to note that Jesus had the both the establishment & the worldly against Him also. I’d say this is when we know that we’re dealing with a true & genuine work of God when these things come against it!

    A classic example of the songwriting prowess of Bob Dylan. He is "The Poet", His given nickname, but for me its his lyrics that cut through the noise like a razor sharp double edged sword. His understanding of songwriting goes way beyond the higher levels of the craft. He understands the human condition so well, his words are like missiles aimed right at the heart of it. Definitely a must listen for anyone interested in the craft of songwriting. Cheers...!

Its a great song and one of his best please don't demean the poet that wrote it. The words are quite CLEAR. Dylan mentions The Lord and the Devil and Timmy, Bobby, Zimmy, R.J. and Ray. Never mentioned Jesus once. . . and why would he?
