Lyrics

The phone call finally came
that she'd waited for all her life
the most popular boy in school
has asked her on a date tonight

He was the quarterback of the football team
she'd be the envy of all her friends
someone told him she was real easy
that she'd lay right down and give in
well he found out she wasn't so easy
she'd never done that kind of thing before
he said if you don't put out, we don't go out
you know virgins ain't in style no more

CHORUS:
Rule number one, you never compromise with sin(him)
for the choice you make today may not ever go away
and Rule number two, as sure as the rising of the sun
girl sometimes you can't undo, breaking rule number one
Solo- RC
All her hopes and dreams now shattered
she has a little baby child to raise
She became a waitress at a dead end job
in a small town cafe
Some men only used her and some beat her black and blue
It turned out to be a real quick journey
breaking two little simple rules
Now there's a silver tongue devil
trying to get you to sell your soul
he said you can play and you don't have to pay
right or wrong, who's gonna know

CHORUS
girl sometimes you can't undo breaking rule number one
yea, sometimes you can't undo breaking rule number one

Well played and performed. Great melody Nice blend with guitar and steel. Backup vocals have a real good haunting feel to them. Great job all the way aroud.
