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
