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 LA 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 eleven thirty
The 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 LA 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 am 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 LA 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
