LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Workin\' For MCA (Live) lyrics

rate me

Seven years of hard luck<br />

Comin' down on me<br />

From the Florida border<br />

Yes, up Nashville, Tennessee<br />

<br />

I worked in every joint you can name, mister<br />

Every honky tonk<br />

Along come Mr Yankee Slicker sayin'<br />

“Maybe you're what I want”<br />

<br />

Want you to sign your contract<br />

Want you to sign today<br />

Gonna give you lots of money<br />

Workin' for MCA<br />

<br />

9000 dollars<br />

To just sow at the wind<br />

But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker<br />

With a big ol' Southern grin<br />

<br />

They're gonna take me out to California<br />

Gonna make me a superstar<br />

Just to pay me all my money<br />

Mister, maybe you won't get a star<br />

<br />

Want you to sign your contract<br />

Want you to sign today<br />

Gonna give you lots of money<br />

Workin' for MCA<br />

<br />

Yeah, slickers took my money<br />

Since I was seventeen<br />

If it ain't no pencil pusher<br />

Then it got to be a honky tonk queen<br />

<br />

But I'll sign my contract, baby<br />

I want you people to know<br />

Every penny that I make<br />

I gotta see where my money goes<br />

<br />

Want you to sign your contract<br />

Want you to sign today<br />

Gonna give you lots of money<br />

Workin' for MCA
