Elton John "Honky Cat" |
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 Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
