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.     guitar solo:                 E|------------10------------10------------15----12------------| H|------------10-12------------10-12--15r12-------15----13-15-12-----| G|-7(/8/9)/12----------7(/8/9)/12------------12------------12--| D|------------| A|------------| E|------------|                              E|----------15-12------------8------12r8------!

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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une soirée tumultueuse passée dans un bar où le narrateur rencontre une femme intrigante. Il s'engage dans une aventure sans attache, même s'il est conscient que cela n'est pas tout à fait juste. Au fil des événements, il se laisse emporter par l'esprit de la nuit, prenant des risques et se questionnant sur ses choix. Dans un contexte de liberté et de désinhibition, le narrateur réalise que, parfois, il est inévitable de transgresser les règles établies. Ce récit illustre la lutte entre le désir de vivre intensément et le respect des conventions, évoquant ainsi une expérience humaine universelle.
