When I look back boy I must have been green
Bop-pin in the coun-try,
Fish-ing in a stream
Look-in for an an-swer try-in to find a sign
Un-til I saw your ci-ty lights
hon-ey I was blind
They said get back hon-ky cat
Bet-ter get back to the woods
Well I quit those days and my red-neck ways
And oh the change is gon-na do me good
You bet-ter get back hon-ky cat
Liv-in in the ci-ty ain't where it's at
It's like try'n to find gold in a sil-ver mine
It's like try'n to drink
whis-key from a bot-tle of wine
Well I read some books and
I read some mag-a-zines
A-bout those high class la-dies
down in new or-leans
And all the folks back home well,
They said I was a fool they said oh,
be-lieve in the lord is the gol-den rule
They said stay at home boy,
you got-ta tend the farm
Liv-ing in the ci-ty boy,
is gon-na break your heart
But how can you stay,
when your heart says no
How can you stop when your feet say go
