They said, "Get back honky cat
Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind
You better get back honky cat
How, how can you stop when your feet say go
Better get back to the woods"
Oh yeah, get back honky cat, get back honky cat, get back
And, oh change is gonna do me good
Living in the city ain’t where it’s at
They said, "Stay at home, boy you gotta tend the farm"
About those high class ladies down in New Orleans
Better get back to the woods"
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
And better get back to the woods"
It’s like trying to find gold in a silver mine
And all the folks back home well, said, "I was a fool"
And they said, "Oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule"
And a, oh the change is gonna do me good
Well I read some books and I read some magazines
They said, "Get back honky cat
Living in the city ain’t where it’s at
But how can you stay when your heart says no
You better get back honky cat
It’s like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It’s like trying to drink whiskey, oh from a bottle of wine
It’s like trying to drink whiskey, oh from a bottle of wine
Get back honky cat, get back honky cat, get back
And a, oh change is gonna do me good
Looking for an answer trying to find a sign
Better get back to the woods
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
You better get back honky cat
And oh, oh change is gonna do me good
Living in the city boy is, is going to break your heart
They said, "Get back honky cat
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
