When I look back

Boy, must've been a dream

Boppin' in the country

Fishin' in a stream



Lookin' for an answer

Trying' 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 said I was a fool

They said 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 now can you stay when your heart says no

How can you stop

When your feet say go
