Honky Tonk Girl Lyrics - Iii - Joe Nichols

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 cam 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
