Intro:                  >D> /u> Emu> u> 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 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 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    (instrumental solo)                                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    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 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      Get back honky cat get back honky cat get back    Get back honky cat get back honky cat get back    Get back honky cat get back honky cat get back {REPEAT SOLO VAMP FADE}

La chanson évoque un homme qui, après avoir vécu une existence simple à la campagne, se retrouve dans l’agitation de la ville. Il se rend compte que, malgré les lumières et l’attrait urbain, il aspire à la tranquillité de la vie en pleine nature. On lui conseille de revenir à ses racines, de renoncer à ces plaisirs éphémères qui ne lui apportent rien de bon. Les conseils des gens de chez lui et ses propres réflexions lui rappellent que le bonheur réside peut-être dans une vie plus authentique et moins compliquée. Dans ce texte, on ressent une lutte entre le souhait de s'adapter à un nouveau mode de vie et l'appel du cœur qui rappelle les valeurs fondamentales et la connexion avec la nature. C'est un véritable voyage introspectif sur la quête de sens et l'importance des choix que l'on fait dans la vie.
