Seven years of hard luck
comin' down on me
From the Florida border
yes up in Nashville Tennessee
I worked in every joint
you can name mister
every honky tonk
Along come Mr Yankee Slicker
sayin' 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
Nine thousand 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 maybe
you won't get scar
Want you
to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you
lots of money
Workin' for MCA..
Suckers took my money
since I was seventeen
If it ain't no pencil pusher
then its got to be
a honky tonk 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
Want you
to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you
lots of money
Workin' for MCA...
