Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced /?l?n?rd 'sk?n?rd/ LEN-?rd-SKIN-?rd) is a Southern Rock band, formed in Jacksonville, Florida, USA in 1964. The band became prominent in the Southern United States in 1973, and rose to worldwide recognition before three members and one road crew member died in an airplane crash in 1977. The band reformed in 1987 for a reunion tour with lead singer Ronnie Van Zant's younger brother Johnny as the frontman. Lynyrd Skynyrd continues to tour and record.

A Ahhhhhgggg!
Ohhh ... 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, yessuh, every honkytonk
Along come Mister Yankee Slicker, sayin' maybe you what I want
E Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money A Workin' for MCA
(SOLO)
A Ohhh ... 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 and maybe you won't get a scar
E Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money A Workin' for MCA
(SOLO)
AEA
A Ohhh ... slickers steal my money, since I was seventeen
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 want to see where my money goes
E Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money A Workin' for MCA
