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.

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
