Joe Nichols - 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 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 |
|
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' |
|
Honky 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 |
|
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' |
|
Honky tonk girl |
|
"solo" |
|
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' |
|
Honky tonk girl |
