Spent a long long evening in a low down honky tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky tonk car
Well 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 she might have made the Eiffel Tower
She stopped the motor at 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
Well, I woke up this morning feeling kind of up and down
'Cause I did not know if I was in or out of the town
Then I saw the face from the night before
Her purse was empty, lying there on the floor
Well like I told you before
That everybody has to sometimes break the rules
I spent 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
Yeah, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
