LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Working For Mca lyrics

rate me

Seven years of hard luck comin' down on me<br />

From a motor boat, yes, up in Nashville, Tennessee<br />

I worked in every joint you can name, yes, every honky tonk<br />

They all come to see Yankee slicker saying, baby, you're what I want<br />

<br />

Want you to sign the contract<br />

Want you to sign the date<br />

Gonna give you lots of money<br />

Workin' for MCA<br />

<br />

Oh, nine thousand dollars just to sow to the wind<br />

Come to smile at the Yankee slicker with a big old southern grin<br />

They're gonna take me out to California, gonna make me a super star<br />

Just pay me all my money, mister, maybe you won't get a star<br />

<br />

Want you to sign the contract<br />

Want you to sign the date<br />

Gonna give you lots of money<br />

Workin' for MCA<br />

<br />

Slickers steal my money since I was seventeen<br />

If it ain't no pencil pusher then it got to be a honky tonk queen<br />

But I signed my contract, baby, and I want you people to know<br />

That every penny I make, I gotta see where my money goes<br />

<br />

Want you to sign the contract<br />

Want you to sign the date<br />

Gonna give you lots of money<br />

Workin' for MCA
