Elton John - Honky Cat Lyrics

When I look back, boy, must've 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'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways
And I hmm, hmm, oh change is gonna do me good

You better get back, honky cat
Livin' in the city ain't know 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

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, 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
But I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways
And ooh ooh hoo, oh change is gonna do me good

They said get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways
And I, ohh uhh uhh, oh change is gonna do me good

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, ha ha
How can you stop when your feet say go

You better get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways
And I, ooh ooh hoo, oh the change is gonna do me good

You better get back, honky cat
Livin' in the city ain't know 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

Oh yeah
Get back, honky cat
Get back, honky cat
Get back, woo
Get back, honky cat
Get back, honky cat
Get back, woo

Oh
Get back, honky cat
Get back
Get back, honky cat, woo
Oh yeah
Woo
