Brooks & Dunn

You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl

Connie came back from her second cousin's wedding

First time she'd been home in 'bout a year or two

Just in time for the rehearsal dinner

But that crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes

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, can't take the honky tonk

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Out of that girl

Well the dinner broke up at about 11:30

And the boys went off to do what boys will do

Connie said come here girls we need to huddle up

Around something that's 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, can't take the honky tonk

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Out of that girl

It's nine a.m. in front of the church

People are going nuts just looking for the groom

And by the way where's Connie

She's run off with that boy in Cancun

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, can't take the honky tonk

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Out of that girl
