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 |
|
And 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 morning 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 |
