"Honky Cat" Lyrics

3.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
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, 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, get back Honky Cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good

(Repeat)

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, how can you stop when your feet say go

You better get back Honky Cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And, oh-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, oh, from a bottle of wine

Get back Honky Cat, get back Honky Cat, get back, whoa
Get back Honky Cat, get back Honky Cat, get back, whoa

Get back Honky Cat, get back, get back Honky Cat, whoa
Oh yeah
