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!
ย
Oh, get back, honky cat
Get back, get back, honky, woo!
Oh yeah, red neck ways, and-a
ย
Woo!
