Lynyrd Skynyrd Workin' for MCA song lyrics

Seven years of hard luck, comin' down on me

From the Florida border, yeah it's up to Nashville Tennessee

I worked in every joint you can name, mister every honky tonk

Along come Mr. Yankee Slicker, said' "Maybe you're what I want"

Want you to sign your contract

Want you to sign today

Gonna give you lots of money

Workin' for MCA

9,000 dollars, that's all we could win

But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker with a big ol' Southern grin

They're gonna take me out to California gonna make me a superstar

Just pay me all of my money, mister maybe you won't get a scar

Want you to sign your contract

Want you to sign today

Gonna give you lots of money

Workin' for MCA

Slickers took my money, since I was 17

If it ain't no pencil pusher, it got to be a honkytonk queen

But I'll sign my contract baby, and I won't you people to know

Every penny that I make, I've gotta 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
