Workin' Lyrics - Edge Of Forever - Lynyrd Skynyrd

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, mister, every honky tonk 

Along come Mr. Yankee slicker, sayin' maybe you're what I want 

Want you to sign your contract 

Want you to sign today 

Gonna give you lots of money 

Workin' for MCA 

Oh 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 

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 

Want you to sign your contract 

Want you to sign today 

Gonna give you lots of money 

Workin' for MCA
