  • 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

    [Chorus]
    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

    [Chorus]

    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
