JOE NICHOLS lyrics : "Honky Tonk Girl"

She moved up to the city
Became a big time fashion designer
All them big shots wined and dined her

In those fancy restaurants
She cam back to our hometown
Pulled up in a brand new Lexus

Looks like our little girl from Texas
Had joined the upper echelon


And she walked through the door
In her jeans and her boots
Stepped right back

Into her tonkin' roots
'Neath the neon lights
We raised the roof

Way into the night
Now you can take the girl out of the honky tonk
Into that uptown world

But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin'
Honk tonk girl


Once upon another time
Before she moved to the Big Apple
Wedding bells were gonna ring in a country chapel

For me and my down-home debutante
Said she missed what we had
And though she made a darn good livin'

Money couldn't buy what she'd been missin'
Yeah, that girl knows what she wants


And she walked through the door
In her jeans and her boots
Stepped right back

Into her tonkin' roots
'Neath the neon lights
We raised the roof

Way into the night
Now you can take the girl out of the honky tonk
Into that uptown world

But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin'
Honk tonk girl


Well, you can take the girl out of the honky tonk
Into that uptown world
But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin'

Honk tonk girl
Honk tonk girl
