Jon Randall Breaking The Rules written by Jon Randall
F
They drove out to the desert in a pick up truck
Drank a toast to Parsons then they lit up
Bb
Bathed in the moonlight of a cool summer night
F
They listened to Dylan and talked about life
C7
Until they ran out of whiskey and things to say
F
A half a tank of gas got em back to L.A.
Dm F
Now they're flying up and down the boulevard
Dm F
Crawlin up Hollywood and Vine
Dm F
They're throwing stones and stepping way over the line
Bb Bb/A Gm F
They're breaking all the rules tonight
F
They headed down to Memphis in a cherry red Vette
Signed the wall at Graceland looked around in the jet
Bb
Parked up on Union walked down on Beale
F
Skinny dipped in the ol' Miss just to see how it would feel
C7
Then he asked her to marry him she said ok
F
Now the old man river will never be the same
Dm F
They're making love out on the interstate
Dm F
Swerving in the left lane passing time
Dm F
They're throwing stones and stepping way over the line
Bb Gm F
They're breaking all the rules tonight
SOLO
F
Just a kid from Texas in an old Mustang
Set out with a plan he had a song to sing
Bb
He wound up in Nashville with all the drunks and whores
F
But he's saving face and keeping score
C7
Cause he's on a mission he's got it all
F
He's got a loud guitar he's kicking down the walls
Dm F
Cause he's had all he can take from this old town
Dm F
And with the finger pointed towards the sky
Dm F
He's throwing stones and stepping way over the line
Bb Bb/A Gm F
He's breaking all the rules tonight
Dm F
He's throwing stones and stepping way over the line
Bb Bb/A Gm F
He's breaking all the rules tonight
