LYNYRD SKYNYRD LYRICS - Workin' For MCA

"Workin' For MCA"



Seven years of hard luck, comin' down on me

From the Florida border, yea up to Nashville Tennessee

I worked in every joint you can name, mister every honkytonk

Along come Mr Yankee Slicker, sayin' maybe you're what I want



[Chorus]

Want you to sign your contract

Want you to sign today

Gonna give you lots of money

Workin' For MCA



9000 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 and mister maybe you won't get a scar



[Chorus]



Suckers took my money since I was seventeen

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

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

That every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes



[Chorus]
