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-a

Mmh-mm-mm-mm

Oh, change is gonna do me good

You better get back, Honky Cat

Living in the city ain't a-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 fools 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"

But I quit those days, and my redneck ways, and

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, change is gonna do me good

Ooh late!

They said, "Get back, Honky Cat

Better get back to the woods"

Well, I quit those days, and my redneck ways, and-a

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, change is gonna do me good

They said, "Stay at home, boy you gotta tend the farm

Living in the city boy is, 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-a

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, the change is gonna do me good

You better get back, Honky Cat

Living in the city ain't a-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

Oh yeah

Get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat

Get back, woo!

Get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat

Get back, woo!

Oh, get back, honky cat

Get back, get back, honky, woo!

Oh yeah, red neck ways, and-a

Woo!
