Honky Cat

When I look back

Boy, I must have 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 quit those days and my redneck ways

And oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good

You better get back, Honky Cat

Livin' in the city ain't where it's at

It's like tryin' to find gold in a silver mine

It's like tryin' to drink whisky 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, they said I was a fool

They said, oh, believe in the Lord

Is the golden rule

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?

How can you stop when your feet say go?
