When I look back, boy, I must have been green
Popping in the country, fishing in the 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-tonk, better get back to the woods
Well, I quit in those days and my redneck ways
And I, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, oh, change is gonna do me good
You better
Get back, honky-tonk, living in the city ain't a wearer's eye
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, said I was a fool
They said, oh, believing the Lord is the golden rule
They said, get back, honky-tonk, better get back to the woods
Well, I quit in those days and my redneck ways
And I, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, oh, change is gonna do me good
Oh, change is gonna do me good
Take it easy on me, I'm the crazy horse
Who knows what I'll win
But maybe I know how God!"
I said, Get back, honky-tonk, living in the city ain't a wearer's eye
Well, they said
Steady with me



I say, come on, get back


I said, get back, honky-tonk, better get back to the woods



Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days
And my redneck ways
And I, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, change is gonna do me good
They said, stay at home
Boy, you got a time to fall
Left me now, they said, yeah, boys
It's gonna break your heart
But how can you stay
When your heart says no
How, how can you stop
When your feet say go
You better get back, okay
Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days
And my redneck ways
And I, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, change is gonna do me good
It's gonna do me good
Better get back, hawk a cat
Living in the city
Ain't a wearer's eye
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 to the woods
Oh, get back, get back
Oh, get, get back
Woo
Get back, hawk a cat
Get back, hawk a cat
Get back
Woo
Woo


Woo
Oh, get back, hawk a cat
Get back, hawk a cat
Woo
Woo
Woo
Woo
Oh, yeah.
