Honky Cat

Lyrics

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!
