Sliding Doors movie - Honky Cat lyrics

rate me

Song by Elton John<br /><br>

When I look back boy I must have been green<br>

Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream<br>

Looking for an answer trying to find a sign<br>

Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind<br>

<br>

They said get back honky cat<br>

Better get back to the woods<br>

Well I quit those days and my redneck ways<br>

And oh the change is gonna do me good<br>

<br>

You better get back honky cat<br>

Living in the city ain't where it's at<br>

It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine<br>

It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine<br>

<br>

Well I read some books and I read some magazines<br>

About those high class ladies down in New Orleans<br>

And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool<br>

They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule<br>

<br>

They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm<br>

Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart<br>

But how can you stay, when your heart says no<br>

How can you stop when your feet say go<br>

<br>
