Текст песни Honky Cat (Elton John) с переводом

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, 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, 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, «Believe in the Lord» is the golden rule

They said, get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

But I quit those days and my redneck ways

And, ooh, oh, change is gonna do me good

(Ooh, baby)

They said, get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways

And, oh, oh, change is gonna do me good

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

Living in the city, boy, is, is gonna break your heart

But how can you stay when your heart says no

Ha, how can you stop when your feet say go

You better get back, honky cat

Better get back to the woods

Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways

And, ooh, 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, oh, from a bottle of wine

Oh yeah, get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat, get back, whoo

Get back, honky cat

Get back, honky cat, get back, whoo

Oh, get back, honky cat, get back

Get back, honky cat, whoo

Oh yeah, redneck ways and

Whoo
