| When I look back Boy, I must have been green Boppin' in the country Fishin' in a stream Lookin' for an answer Tryin' to find a sign Until I saw your city lights Honey, I was blind They said, get back, Honky Cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good You better get back, Honky Cat Livin' in the city ain't where it's at It's like tryin' to find gold in a silver mine It's like tryin' to drink whiskey Oh, from a bottle of wine Well I read some books and I read some magazines About those high class ladies Down in New Orleans And all the folks back home, Well, they said I was a fool They said, oh, believe in the Lord Is the golden rule They said, get back, Honky Cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good They said, get back, Honky Cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good They said stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm Livin' in the city, boy Is gonna break your heart But how can you stay when your heart says no? How can you stop when your feet say go? You better get back, Honky Cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good You better get back, Honky Cat Livin' in the city ain't where it's at It's like tryin' to find gold in a silver mine It's like tryin' to drink whiskey Oh, from a bottle of wine Get back, honky cat Get back, honky cat Get back, woo Get back, honky cat Get back, honky cat Get back, woo | |
