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 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 11:30
Them boys went off to do what boys do
Connie said, "Hey girls, let's huddle up"
Around something about 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 nine a.m. out in front of the 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
