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
