Honky Cat

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 mmm mmm mmm mmm
And 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 whisky
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, 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 ooh ooh ooh ooh
And 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 uh uh uh uh
And 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 going to break your heart

But how can you stay
When your heart says no, ah ah
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
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 whisky
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
