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
