Break The Rules

Spent a long, long evening

In a low down honky-tonk bar

Pulled a low down lady

With a long black honky-tonk car

I asked no questions

I got no lies

A one off winner

I didn't want any ties

And I knew it wasn't right

Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Took me down on the highway

Doing too many miles an hour

By the way she motored

Thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower

She stopped the motor

By her own front door

I knew she'd done it

So many times before

But I was off of the floor

But, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I woke up next moring

Feeling kind of up and down

'Cos I did not know

If I was in or out of the town

Then I saw the face

From the night before

My purse was empty

Lying there on the floor

But like I told you before

That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I spend a low down evening

Sitting high on a honky-tonk stool

And I spent my money

Like a low down honky-tonk fool

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
