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 [Chorus]
