When I look back, boy, must've been green Boppin' in the country, fishin' in a stream Lookin' for an answer, tryin' 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'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways And I hmm, hmm, oh change is gonna do me good
You better get back, honky cat Livin' in the city ain't know where it's at It's like tryin' to find gold in a silver mine It's like tryin' 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 But I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways And ooh ooh hoo, oh change is gonna do me good
They said get back, honky cat Better get back to the woods Well I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways And I, ohh uhh uhh, oh change is gonna do me good
They said stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm Livin' in the city, boy, is gonna break your heart But how can you stay when your heart says no, ha ha How can you stop when your feet say go
You better get back, honky cat Better get back to the woods Well I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways And I, ooh ooh hoo, oh the change is gonna do me good
You better get back, honky cat Livin' in the city ain't know where it's at It's like tryin' to find gold in a silver mine It's like tryin' to drink whisky, 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, woo
Oh Get back, honky cat Get back Get back, honky cat, woo Oh yeah Woo
