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 dinnerThat 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

We let dinner broke up at around 11:30

And 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
