G5

Spent a long long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar

        G5

Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car

  C5

I asked no questions, got no lies,

  C5                     D5              G5

I walked off with her, I didn't want any ties

    D5               G5

And I knew it wasn't right

    D5               F5  D5    C5    A#5 G5

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.



        G5

Took me down on the highway doin' too may miles an hour

        G5

By that way she motor-talked we might have made the Eiffel Tower.

    C5

She stopped her motor by her own front door,

  C5                 D5                 G5

I knew she'd done it so many times before

    D5

And I was offered the floor.

    D5               F5  D5    C5    A#5 G5

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.

  G5

I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down

    G5

Cos I did not know if I was in or out of town

       C5

Then I saw the face from the night before

                    D5                    G5

Purse was empty and lying there on the floor

    D5                   G5

But like I told you before

     D5               F5  D5    C5    A#5 G5

That everybody has to sometimes break the rules



        G5

Spent a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool.

      G5

And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool.

    D5               F5  D5    C5    A#5 G5

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

    D5               F5  D5    C5    A#5 G5

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

    D5               F5  D5    C5    A#5 G5

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
