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, 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 whisky 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, oh, the change is gonna do me good



(Repeat)



They said stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm

Livin' in the city, boy, 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, oh-oh-oh-oh, 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 whisky, oh, from a bottle of wine



Get back Honky Cat, get back Honky Cat, get back, whoa

Get back Honky Cat, get back Honky Cat, get back, whoa



Get back Honky Cat, get back, get back Honky Cat, whoa

Oh yeah
