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
