D7
When I look back, boy I must have been green

Boppin in the country, fishing in a stream

D7
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign

G

B7
Get back honky cat, better get back to the woods

       E7
Well I quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a

D7                                               G
Mmm mmm mmm mmm oh the change is gonna do me good

 

B7

Get back honky cat, living in the city ain't where its at,

           E7
It's like, trying to find gold in a silver mine, its like

D7                                           G

Living in the city boy is, gonna break your heart
