When I look backBoy, must've been a dreamBoppin' in the countryFishin' in a streamLookin' for an answerTrying' to find a signUntil I saw your city lightsHoney, I was blind.They said, get back, Honky CatBetter get back to the woodsWell, I quit those days and my redneck waysAnd oh, oh, oh, oh, the change is gonna do me goodYou better get back, Honky CatLivin' in the city ain't where It's atIt's like tryin' to find gold in a silver mineIt's like tryin' to drink whisky from a bottle of wineWell I read some books and I read some magazinesAbout those high class ladiesDown in New OrleansAnd all the folks back home said I was a foolThey said believe in the LordIs the golden ruleThey said stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farmLivin' in the city, boyIs gonna break your heartBut now can you stay when your heart says noHow can you stopWhen your feet say go
