[00:27.50]When I look back, boy, I must have been green
[00:33.11]Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
[00:38.62]Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
[00:43.70]Until I saw your city lights, honey, I was blind
[00:48.93]They said, get back, honky cat
[00:52.26]Better get back to the woods
[00:54.50]Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
[01:00.32]And, hm-hm-hm-hm, oh, the change is gonna do me good
[01:11.73]You better get back, honky cat
[01:14.46]Living in the city ain’t where it’s at
[01:17.43]It’s like trying to find gold in a silver mine
[01:22.66]It’s like trying to drink whiskey, oh, from a bottle of wine
[01:34.00]Well, I read some books, and I read some magazines
[01:39.29]About those high-class ladies down in New Orleans
[01:44.95]And all the folks back home, well, said I was a fool
[01:50.38]They said, oh, “Believe in the Lord” is the golden rule
[01:56.19]They said, get back, honky cat
[01:59.15]Better get back to the woods
[02:01.65]Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
[02:07.05]And, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, change is gonna do me good
[02:14.38]
[02:40.44]They said, get back, honky cat
[02:43.44]Better get back to the woods
[02:45.99]Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
[02:51.34]And, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, change is gonna do me good
[03:02.61]They said, stay at home, boy, you gotta tend the farm
[03:08.97]Living in the city, boy, is going to break your heart
[03:14.12]But how can you stay when your heart says no?
[03:19.43]Haha, how can you stop when your feet say go?
[03:24.94]You better get back, honky cat
[03:27.86]Better get back to the woods
[03:30.28]Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
[03:35.69]And, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, the change is gonna do me good
[03:46.99]You better get back, honky cat
[03:50.03]Living in the city ain’t where it’s at
[03:52.72]It’s like trying to find gold in a silver mine
[03:58.29]It’s like trying to drink whiskey, oh, from a bottle of wine
