Lynyrd Skynyrd - Introduction / Workin' for MCA Lyrics

Artist: Lynyrd Skynyrd

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Edward C. King, Ronnie Van Zant

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

Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' for M C A

9000 dollars, that's all we could win
But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker with a big old 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

Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' for M C A

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, 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 M C A
