You Can't Take The Honky Tonk Out Of The Girl

Submitted by Marissa

Yeah, Connie came back from 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 that girl out of the honky tonk,
But you can't take the honky tonk,
Take the honky tonk out of the girl.
Ooh.

Well, that dinner broke up at around 11:30.
Boys went out to do what boys do.
Connie said: "Hey girls, let's huddle up.
"'Round somethin', '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 that girl out of the honky tonk,
But you can't take the honky tonk,
Take the honky tonk out of the girl.
Ooh.

(Instrumental break)

Well, at nine a.m., out in front of that church,
People goin' 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 that girl out of the honky tonk,
But you can't take the honky tonk,
Take the honky tonk out of the girl.
Ooh.
(Instrumental fade out).
