Workin’ for MCA Songtext
von Blackberry Smoke

It′s great to be home

Oh, seven years of hard luck comin' down on me
From the Florida border yeah, it′s up to Nashville Tennessee
I worked in every joint you can name mister, every honky tonk
Along come Mr. Yankee Slicker, said, "Maybe you're what I want"

Want you to sign a contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' for MCA

Yeah, 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 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 MCA, hey

Ohh, slickers steal my money since I was 17
If it ain′t no pencil pusher then it got to be a honkytonk queen
But I'll sign my contract baby and I won′t you people to know
That every penny that I make, I've gotta see where my money goes

Want you to sign a contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' for MCA

(Ohh yeah)
(Yeah, baby)
