Honky Cat (Live At The Royal Festival Hall, London, UK / 1972)

When I look back, boy, I must've been green Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign Until I saw your city lights, honey, I was blind You better get back, honky cat Better get back to the woods Well, I quit those days And my redneck ways And I, mm-hmm-hmm Oh, change is gonna do me good Get back, honky cat Living in the city ain't where it's at It's like trying to find gold In a silver mine It's like trying 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 fools back home said I was a fool They said, "Oh, you better believe in the Lord, it's the golden rule" 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, change is gonna do me good Get back now, oh, baby 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, change is gonna do me good They said, "Stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm" Living in the city, boy, is gonna break your heart But how can you stop when your heart says, "No"? Well, how can you stay 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 I, oh-oh-oh Oh, change is gonna do me good Oh, you better get back, honky cat Living in the city ain't where it's at It's like trying to find gold In a silver mine It's like trying to drink whisky Oh, from a bottle of wine Alright You better get back, honky cat Get back, honky cat, get back, woo You better get back, honky cat Get back, honky cat, get back, woo Get back, honky cat Get back, honky cat, get back, woo Get back, honky cat Get back, honky cat, get back, woo You better get back, honky cat Get back, honky cat, get back
