First time she'd been home in a year or two
Just in time for the rehearsal dinner
That crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes
Yeah, she lives in L. A. She flies to New York city
That woman's been around the world
You can take the girl out of the honky tonk
But you can't take the honky tonk
Take the honky tonk, out of the girl
Well that dinner broke up at around eleven thirty
The boys went out to do what boys do
Connie said, "Hey girls let's huddle up
Around something 'bout a hundred proof"
She lives in L. A. She flies to New York city
That woman's been around the world
You can take the girl out of the honky tonk
But you can't take the honky tonk
Take the honky tonk, out of the girl
Well at 9 A. M. Out in front of that church
People going nuts looking for the groom
Somebody says, "Hey by the way where's Connie?"
She's run off with that boy to Cancun
Yeah, she lives in L. A. She flies to New York city
That woman's been around the world
You can take the girl out of the honky tonk
But you can't take the honky tonk
Take the honky tonk, out of the girl
Connie came back for her second cousin's wedding First time she'd been home in a year or two Just in time for the rehearsal dinner That crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes Yeah, she lives in L. A. She flies to New York city That woman's been around the world You can take the girl out of the honky tonk But you can't take the honky tonk Take the honky tonk, out of the girl Well that dinner broke up at around eleven thirty The boys went out to do what boys do Connie said, "Hey girls let's huddle up Around something 'bout a hundred proof" She lives in L. A. She flies to New York city That woman's been around the world You can take the girl out of the honky tonk But you can't take the honky tonk Take the honky tonk, out of the girl Well at 9 A. M. Out in front of that church People going nuts looking for the groom Somebody says, "Hey by the way where's Connie?" She's run off with that boy to Cancun Yeah, she lives in L. A. She flies to New York city That woman's been around the world You can take the girl out of the honky tonk But you can't take the honky tonk Take the honky tonk, out of the girl Explain Request ×
