Workin' For MCA

(앨범: Second Helping - 1974)

Seven years of hard luck coming down on me
From the Florida border, yes, up to Nashville, Tennessee
I worked in every joint you can name, mister, every honky tonk
Along comes the Yankee slicker, saying, maybe you're what I want

I want you to sign the contract
Want you to sign the date
Gonna give you lots of money
Working for MCA

For nine thousand dollars just sowed the wind
Oh I 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 my money, mister maybe you won't get a star

I want you to sign the contract
Want you to sign the date
Gonna give you lots of money
Working for MCA

Slickers steal my money since I was seventeen
If it ain't no pencil pusher, then there's got to be a honky tonk queen
Well I signed my contract, baby, now I want you people to know
Every penny that I make, I wanna see where my money goes

I want you to sign the contract
Want you to sign the date
Gonna give you lots of money
Working for MCA
