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 oh, 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 city that's
Silver mine
It's like trying to drink a whiskey
Oh, oh
From a bottle of wine
Well, I, 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, they said I was a fool
They said, oh, believe in the Lord
It's the golden rule
They said, get back, honky cat
You better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days
And my redneck ways
And oh, oh
Change is gonna do me good
Get back, honky cat



And oh, oh
Change is gonna do me good
Get back, honky cat
Well, I quit those days
And oh, oh
Change is gonna do me good
Get back, honky cat
And I'm gonna take the rich
And I'm gonna make a
You know me want go
They said, get back, honky cat, you better get back to the woods. Well, I quit those days, and I ran away.
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 stay?
When your heart says no.
How can you stop?
When your feet say go.
Get back, honky cat, you better get back to the woods.
Well, I quit those days, and my redneck weighed.
And oh, 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 whiskey from a bottle of wine.
Oh!


































Get back, honky cat, get back, honky cat, get back, get back.
You better get back, honky cat, get back, honky cat, get back.
Whoo!
You better get back, honky cat, get back, honky cat, get back.
