1. BREAK THE RULES

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
And 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 morning 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


2. LONELY NIGHT

Sitting by the window where I used to sit with you
Playing all the old songs like we often used to do
It was a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night
It was a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night
Went by a friend, he said, this is not a lie
You're back again, and I couldn't laugh or cry
Cos I never thought I'd see or hear you again

Took me down to Sally's where the band was playing loud
Didn't take me too long to find you there with a crowd
It was a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night
I had a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
I tried to find something right for me to say
Can't you decide when you left me on that day

Cos I never thought I'd see or hear you again
Oh no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again
No, I never thought I'd see or hear you again

Oh no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again
No, no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again
No, I never thought I'd see or hear you again
No, no, I never thought I'd see or hear you again.....
