[Verse 1]
Seven years of hard luck coming down on me
From the Florida border, yeah, up to Nashville, Tennessee
I worked in every joint you can name, Mr. Every Honky Tonk
Along come Mr. Yankee Slicker saying, "Maybe you're what I want"
[Chorus]
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Give you lots of money
Working for MCA
[Verse 2]
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, mister, maybe you won't get a scar
[Chorus]
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Give you lots of money
Working for MCA
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, suckеrs took my money since I was sevеnteen
And if it ain't no pencil pusher, then it gotta be a honky-tonk queen
Now I'll sign my contract, baby, I want you people to know
Every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes
[Chorus]
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Give you lots of money
Working for MCA
