Honky Cat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I look back, boy, I must have been green Bopping in the country, fishing in the 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, and my redneck ways And, oh oh oh, 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 [Verse 2] Well, I read some books, I read some magazines About those high-class ladies down in New Orleans And all the fools back home, they said I was a fool They said, oh girl, "Believe in the Lord" is the golden rule [Chorus] I hear them saying, get back, honky cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days and, and my redneck ways And, hmm hmm hmm mmm, change is really doing me good [Verse 3] I hear them saying, stay at home, girl, you gotta tend to the farm Living in the city, girl, is gonna break your heart But how can you stay when your heart says no, no, no? How can you stop when your feet say go, go, go, God? [Chorus] 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, yeah, from a bottle of wine [Outro] Said I quit those days, I quit my redneck ways 'Til I saw the sign, baby, I was gonna get back Get back, honky cat I read books, I read magazines They said you're not a high-class girl if you don't know what it means (Woo) Get back, honky cat Well, they said I was a fool, said believing in the Lord is the golden rule Honky cat, get back (Woo) Get back, honky cat You can't stay when your heart says no You gotta leave when your feet say go, go Get back, honky cat
