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

chorus:

They said get back honky cat Better get back to the woods Well I quit those days and my redneck ways 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 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

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)

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 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 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 from a bottle of wine

Get back honky cat, get back honky cat, get back...
