Honky Cat (Album Version)

When I look back, boy, I must have been green

Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream

Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign

Until I saw your city lights, honey, I was blindThey said, get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways

And, oh, the change is gonna do me goodYou better get back, honky cat

Living in the city ain't where it's at

It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine

It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wineWell, 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, said I was a fool

They said, oh, believe in the Lord is the golden ruleThey said, get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways

And, oh, the change is gonna do me goodThey said, get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways

And, oh, the change is gonna do me goodThey said, stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm

Living in the city, boy, is going to break your heart

But how can you stay when your heart says no?

How can you stop when your feet say go?They said, get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways

And, oh, the change is gonna do me goodYou better get back, honky cat

Living in the city ain't where it's at

It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine

It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wineOh, yeahGet back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat

Get backGet back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat

Get back
