Honky Cat
Music by
Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
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
Chorus
They said, get back honky
cat
Better get back to the woods
Well I quit those days and my redneck
ways
And 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 whisky 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, said I was
a fool
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule
Chorus
Chorus
They said
stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm
Living in the city boy, is going to
break your heart
But how can you stay when your heart says no
How can you
stop when your feet say go
Chorus
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 whisky from a bottle of
wine
Get back, honky cat, get back, honky cat, get back
Get back, honky
cat, get back, honky cat, get back
