Yeah, 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 wearin' 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.
The dinner broke up at around 11:30,
and the boys went off to do what boys do.
Connie said, “Hey girls, let's huddle up,
around something 'bout a hundred proof.
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, at nine a.m. out in front of that church,
people are going nuts, looking for the groom.
Somebody says, “And 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.
