When I looked back.
boy. I must have been green.
boppin&#39; in the country.

fishin&#39; in a stream.

Looked fer an answer.

tryin&#39; to find a sign.

Until I saw your city lights.

Honey. I was blind.

You said.

Get back. honky cat!

Better get back to the woods.

But I quit those days and my
red neck ways. and-a. umhum.

oh. change is gonna do me good.

Yen better get back.
Honky Cat!

Livin&#39; in the city ain&#39;t where it&#39;s at.

It&#39;s like tryin&#39; to find gold
in a silver mine.
It&#39;s like tryin&#39; to drink whiskey. 011.

from a bottle of wine.

Well. I read some books.
and I read some magazines
about those high dressed ladies

down in New Orleans.

And all the folks back home. well.
said I was a fool.
They said. ooh. Believe in the Lord
is the golden rule. They said . . .

Get back. Honky Cat!

Better get back to the woods.

Well. I quit those days and my
red neck ways.and-a.ooh hoo.
oh. change is gonna do me good.

011. Babe!

You said. Get back. honky cat!

Better get back to the woods.

Well. I quit those days and my
red neck ways. and-a. ooh 1100.

011. change is gonna do me good.

They said. Stay at home.
boy. gotta tend the farm.
Livin&#39; in the city. boy. it&#39;s.

it&#39;s 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 . ..

Well. I quit those days and my
red neck ways. and-a. um hum.

change is gonna do me good.

You better get back. honky cat!

Livin&#39; in the city ain&#39;t where it&#39;s at.

It&#39;s like tryin&#39; to find gold
in a silver mine.
It&#39;s like tryin&#39; to drink whiskey.

011. from a bottle of wine.

Get back. nonky cat!

Get back. honky cat!

Get back. whew!

Get back. nonky cat!

Get back. honky cat!

Get back. whew!
