Standard (EADGBE)

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, got no lies,

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

And I knew it wasn't right

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.

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

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

She stopped her motor by her own front door,

I knew she'd done it so many times before

And I was offered the floor.

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.

First solo

Guitar (I don't know this solo, sorry!)

Second solo

Piano

Third solo

Harmonica

I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down

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

Then I saw the face from the night before

Purse was empty and lying there on the floor

But like I told you before

That everybody has to sometimes break the rules

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

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
