Honky Cat (Remastered)

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 red-neck ways, and a
Mm-hm-hm-hm, oh, a 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 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"
But I quit those days and my red-neck ways, and
Ooh, ooh, ooh-hoo, oh, 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 red-neck ways, and a
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, a 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 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 red-neck 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 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, whoo

Oh, get back, honky cat
Get back, get back, honky cat, whoo
Oh, yeah
Whoo
