Introduction Workin' For MCA

Well hello!
Hey, I want you to welcome some very old friends of ours
Lynyrd Skynyrd!

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, yes 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

$9,000, 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 to pay me all 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

Slickers took 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 want you people to know
Every penny that I make, I've gotta see where my money goes
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
