Honky Cat - Live At The Royal Festival Hall, London, UK / 1972

When I look back, boy, I must've 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

You better get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days

And my redneck ways

And I, mm-hmm-hmm

Oh, change is gonna do me good

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 fools back home said I was a fool

They said, "Oh, you better believe in the Lord, it's the golden rule"

Get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days

And my redneck ways

And I, oh-oh-oh

Oh, change is gonna do me good

Get back now, oh, baby

Get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days

And my redneck ways

And I, 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 gonna break your heart

But how can you stop when your heart says, "No"?

Well, how can you stay 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 I, oh-oh-oh

Oh, change is gonna do me good

Oh, 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

Alright

You better get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat, get back, woo

You better get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat, get back, woo

Get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat, get back, woo

Get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat, get back, woo

You better get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat, get back
