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
Mmm 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, 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 folks 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
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
mmmmmm oh the change is gonna do me good


They said get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
mmmmmm oh the change is gonna do me good


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?

They said get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
mmmmmm 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, oh, from a bottle of wine
