When I look back
Boy, I must have been green
Boppin' in the country
Fishin' in a streamLookin' for an answer
Tryin' 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 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 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, they 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
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 goodThey 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 goodYou 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 yeahGet back, honky cat
Get back, honky cat
Get back, woohGet back, honky cat
Get back, honky cat
Get back, woohOh get back, honky cat
Get back, get back, honky cat, wooh, oh yeahWooh
