Honky Cat Lyrics - Honky Chateau - Elton John

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 mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, oh change is gonna do me good

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 whiskey 

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, 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 

But, I quit those days and my redneck ways 

And ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh change is gonna do me good 

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 change is gonna do me good 

They said stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm 

Livin' in the city, boy is 

Is gonna break your heart 

But how can you stay when your heart says no? 

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 ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, 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 whiskey 

Oh, from a bottle of wine oh yeah 

Get back, honky cat 

Get back, honky cat 

Get back, wooh 

Get back, honky cat 

Get back, honky cat 

Get back, wooh 

Oh get back, honky cat 

Get back, get back, honky cat, wooh, oh yeah 

Wooh
