Lyrics
Seven years of hard luck, comin' down on me
Expressing seven years of tough times and challenges impacting the speaker.
From the Florida border, yes, up to Nashville, Tennessee
Describing the geographical range of difficulties, from Florida to Nashville.
I worked in every joint you can name, mister, every honky tonk
Highlighting the speaker's experience in various venues, including honky-tonks.
Along come Mr. Yankee slicker, sayin' "Maybe you're what I want"
Introducing a slick outsider interested in the speaker's potential.
Want you to sign your contract
Requesting the speaker's commitment to a contract.
Want you to sign today
Emphasizing the urgency to sign the contract.
Gonna give you lots of money
Promising substantial financial rewards.
Workin' for MCA
Revealing the entity as MCA and the speaker's commitment to work for them.
Oh, nine thousand dollars, that's all we could win
Recalling a modest financial offer but responding positively.
But we smiled at the Yankee slicker with a big ol' Southern grin
Indicating the speaker's friendly disposition despite the offer.
They're gonna take me out to California, gonna make me a superstar
Expressing expectations of success and fame in California.
Just pay me all of my money, mister, maybe you won't get a scar
Asserting the importance of receiving due payment to avoid conflicts.
Want you to sign your contract

Oh, suckers took my money since I was seventeen
Reflecting on past experiences of being deceived or cheated out of money.
If it ain't no pencil pusher, then it got to be a honky tonk queen
Suggesting a preference for those associated with honky-tonk culture over office workers.
But I'll sign my contract, baby, and I want you people to know
Acknowledging the decision to sign the contract despite skepticism.
That every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes
Ensuring transparency and accountability in handling earned income.
Want you to sign your contract
Repeating the plea for commitment to the contractual agreement.
Want you to sign today
Reiterating the urgency of the signing process.
Gonna give you lots of money
Reaffirming the promise of substantial financial compensation.
