Break the Rules (Live and Acoustic) - Status Quo

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
