Lynyrd Skynyrd » Workin For Mca Lyrics

Seven years of hardluck are comin down on me
From the Florida border yeah up to Nashville Tennessee
I worked in every joint you could name mister every honkytonk
And down come mister yankee slicker and said "maybe you what i want

Want you to sign your contract
want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money workin for MCA

9000 dollars was all we could win
Still we smiled at the yankee slicker with our big ole southern grins
They gonna take me out to california gonna make me a superstar
Just pay me all my money and maybe you won't get scared


Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin for MCA

Suckers steal my money since i was seventeen
If it aint no pencil pusher than it's got to be a honkytonk queen
Yeah
I'll sign my contract baybe but i want you people know
Every penny that i make I wanna see where my money goes

Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin for MCA
