Workin' For MCA

Seven years of hard luck, comin' down on me From the Florida border, yes 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 Oh, 9000 dollars, just to sow at the wind 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 Chorus Slickers took my money since I was seventeen If it ain't no pencil pusher, then it got to be a honkytonk queen But I'll sign my contract baby, and I want you people to know That every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes Chorus
