Elton John - Honky Cat (Remastered)(2017)

When I look back
Boy, I must have 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

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

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 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
Living 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
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 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
