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 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 oh, oh, oh, oh, oh change is gonna do me good
They said stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm
Livin' in the city, boy is
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 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, wooh
Get back, honky cat
Get back, honky cat
Get back, wooh
Oh get back, honky cat
Get back, get back, honky cat, wooh, oh yeah
