Honky Tonk Girl Lyrics

Honky Tonk Girl lyrics

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 came 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
