Seven years of hard luck comin' down on me
from the Florida border, yes, up in Nashville, Tennessee.
I worked in every joint you can name, yes, every honky tonk.
They all come to see yankee slicker saying, baby, you're what I want.

Want you to sign a contract,
want you to sign a date.
Gonna give you lots of money
workin' for MCA.

Oh, nine thousand dollars just to sow to the wind.
Come to smile at the yankee slicker with a big old southern grin.
They're gonna take me out to California, gonna make me a super star.
Just pay me all my money, mister, maybe you won't get a star.

Want you to sign a contract,
want you to sign a date.
Gonna give you lots of money
workin' for MCA.

Slickers steal my money since I was seventeen,
if it ain't no pencil pusher then it got to be a honky tonk queen.
But I signed my contract, baby, and I want you people to know
that every penny I make, I gotta see where my money goes.

Want you to sign a contract,
want you to sign a date.
Gonna give you lots of money
workin' for MCA.
