Honky Cat

When I look back,

boy, I must have been green,

(G)boppin' in the country,

fishin' in a stream,

(D7)lookin' for an answer,

tryin' to find a sign.

(G)Until I saw your city lights,

honey, I was blind.

honky cat.

Better get back to the woods."

Well, I (E7)quit those days and my

redneck ways and a,

(D7)hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,

oh, the change is gonna do me good.

(D7)"You better (B7)get back,

honky cat.

Livin' in the city ain't where it's at.

It's like (E7)tryin' to find gold in a

silver mine.

It's like (D7)tryin' to drink whiskey,

oh, from a bottle of wine."

New Orleans, and all the (D7)folks back home,

well, they said I was a fool.

They said, (G)"Oh, believin' the Lord

is the golden rule."

They said, (B7)"Get back,

honky cat.

Better get back to the woods."

But I (E7)quit those days and my

redneck ways and,

(D7)ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,

oh, the change is gonna do me good.

(D7)They said, (B7)"Get back,

honky cat.

Better get back to the woods."

But I (E7)quit those days and my

redneck ways and,

(D7)ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
