Honky Cat

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 a mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Oh, 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

But I quit those days and my redneck ways

And ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, 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 a oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, change is gonna do me good

They said, stay at home

Boy, you gotta tend the farm

Livin' out in the city, boy, is, is gonna break your heart

But how can you stay when your heart says no?

How, 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 a ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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, oh, yeah

Get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat

Get back, woo

Get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat

Get back, woo

Oh, get back, honky cat

Get back, get back, honky

Woo, oh, yeah
