C7                                    C
When I look back boy I must have been green
F
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
C7                    C
Looking for an answer trying to find a sign
F
Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind
 
          A7
They said get back honky cat
 
Better get back to the woods
       D7
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
C7     C                            F
mmmmmm oh the change is gonna do me good
 
C7 C F
 
           A7
You better get back honky cat
 
Living in the city ain't where it's at
          D7
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
          C7                      C                    F
It's like trying to drink whisky, oh, from a bottle of wine

About those high class ladies down in New Orleans
            C7
And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool
          F
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule
 
          A7
They said get back honky cat
 
Better get back to the woods

They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm
F
Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart

But how can you stay, when your heart says no?
F
How can you stop when your feet say go?
