Honky Cat - Live At The Royal Festival Hall
When I look back, oh, boy, I must have been green
Boppin' in the country, fishin' in a stream
Lookin' for an answer, tryna find a sign
'Til I saw your city lights, ah, honey, I was blind
They said, "Get back, honky cat
Oh, you better get back to the wood"
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good
Get back, honky cat
Oh, livin' in the city ain't where it's at
It's like tryna find gold in a silver mine
It's like tryna 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 said I was a fool
They said, "Oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule"
They said, "Get back, honky cat
Oh, you better get back to the woods"
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, change is gonna do me good
Alright, honky, let's see you then
Get back, honky cat
Oh, you better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And oh, oh, oh, oh, no, the change is gonna do me good
They said, "Stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm
Livin' in the city, son, is gonna break your heart"
But how can you stop when your heart said no, hoo-oh?
How can you stop when your feet say go?
They said, "Get back, honky cat
Oh, you better get back to the wood"
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, change is gonna do me good
You better get back, Honky Cat
Oh, livin' in the city ain't where it's at
It's like tryna find gold in a silver mine
It's like tryna drink whiskey, oh, from a bottle of wine
Get back, honky cat
Get back, honky cat
Get back, whoo!

Get back, honky cat
