[G]
[D] When I look back, boy I'm up in green
[G] Boppin' in the country, fishin' in the stream
[D] Lookin' for an answer, tryin' to find a sign
[G] Until I saw your city lights, honey I would blind
You [B] said, get back, I don't care, better get back to the world
Well [E] I'm quittin' those days and my [E]
redneck ways
And [D] I'm, mm-hmm-hmm, oh, change is gonna do [G] me good
[B] You said, get back, honky-tonk, livin' in the city ain't a where's I
[E] Tryin' to find gold and a silver mine
[D] It's like tryin' to drink whiskey, oh, from [G] a bottle of [D] wine
Well I read some books and I read some magazines
[G] About those hot desolated towns in New Orleans
And all [D] the fools back home, well, said I was a fool
[G] They said, oh, believin' the Lord is the golden rule
You [B] said, get back, honky-tonk, better get back to the world
[E] Well I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways
[D] And I'm, mm-hmm [D]-hmm, oh, change is gonna [G] do me good
[D] Oh, yeah

They [D] said, stay at home, boy, you gotta turn the phone
[G] Livin' in the city, boy, is gonna break your heart
[D] But how can you stay when your heart says no?
[G] How can you stop when your [D] feet say go?
[B] You better get back, honky-tonk, better get back to the world
Well [E] I'm quittin' those days and my redneck ways

[B] You better get back, honky-tonk, livin' in the city, you know where it's at
[E] It's like, prime time, boy, and I'm sellin' my mind
[D] It's like, wine, beer, whiskey, oh, rum and wine, [G] you know why
