Honky Tonk Girl
From Couture to Country: A Honky Tonk Girl's Journey
Lyrics
She moved up to the city
She relocated to the city
Became a big time fashion designer
Became a successful fashion designer
All them big shots wined and dined her
High-profile individuals entertained her
In those fancy restaurants
In upscale dining establishments
She cam back to our hometown
Returned to her hometown
Pulled up in a brand new Lexus
Arrived in a new Lexus
Looks like our little girl from Texas
Resembled the Texas girl she used to be
Had joined the upper echelon
Joined the upper social class
And she walked through the door
Entered a place
In her jeans and her boots
Wearing jeans and boots
Stepped right back
Returned to her country roots
Into her tonkin' roots
Under the bright city lights
'Neath the neon lights
Celebrated energetically
We raised the roof
Amidst enthusiasm
Way into the night
Late into the night
Now you can take the girl out of the honky tonk
Despite leaving the honky tonk
Into that uptown world
Entered the sophisticated world
But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin'
She remains my lively, beer-drinking, pool-playing
Honk tonk girl
Honky-tonk girl
Once upon another time
In the past
Before she moved to the Big Apple
Before moving to New York City
Wedding bells were gonna ring in a country chapel
Planned to marry in a rural setting
For me and my down-home debutante
With me, her hometown debutante
Said she missed what we had
Expressed missing our past
And though she made a darn good livin'
Despite financial success
Money couldn't buy what she'd been missin'
Money couldn't replace what she longed for
Yeah, that girl knows what she wants
She knows what she desires
And she walked through the door
Entered a place
In her jeans and her boots
Wearing jeans and boots
Stepped right back
Returned to her country roots
Into her tonkin' roots
Under the bright city lights
'Neath the neon lights
Celebrated energetically
We raised the roof
Amidst enthusiasm
Way into the night
Late into the night
Now you can take the girl out of the honky tonk
Despite leaving the honky tonk
Into that uptown world
Entered the sophisticated world
But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin'
She remains my lively, beer-drinking, pool-playing
Honk tonk girl
Honky-tonk girl
Well, you can take the girl out of the honky tonk
Despite leaving the honky tonk
Into that uptown world
Entered the sophisticated world
But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin'
She remains my lively, beer-drinking, pool-playing
Honk tonk girl
Honky-tonk girl
Honk tonk girl
