Workin' for MCA (Hamburg 1974)

Seven years of hard luck, comin' down on me

From the Florida border, yeah up to 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[Chorus]

Want you to sign your contract

Want you to sign today

Gonna give you lots of money

Workin' For MCANine 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 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 honky tonk 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]
