Song Lyrics

(Ed King - Ronnie VanZant)

Ahhhhhgggg!

Ohhh ... 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, yessuh, every honkytonk
Along come Mister Yankee Slicker, sayin` maybe you what I want

Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin` for MCA

Ohhh ... 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 my money and 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 MCA

Ohhh ... slickers steal 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
Every penny that I make, I want to 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
