Honky Cat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I look back, boy, I must've been green
Boppin' in the country, fishin' in the 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 I
(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, a silver mine
It's like tryin' to drink whiskey, oh, from a bottle of wine
Well, I read some books and I read some magazines
About those a-high-class a-ladies down in a-New Orleans
And all the a-folks back home, well, they said I was a fool
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 I
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, the change is gonna do me good
