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 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
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
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
Living 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
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
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
