Rock&Blues... The Rules

Story Behind The Song

A song from real life. I'm standing behind 3 cowboys on a band break when 'Sweet Shirley' makes her entrance and one cowboys says to his buddies, "Hey, Look What Just Walked In The Door!!". My mind went 'click' and I had the first line of another song. All you have to do is pay attention.

Rock&Blues...The Rules

Verse 1

Hey, look what just walked in the door
Girl of my dreams, crossing the floor
The guys all said, "Don't waste your time
Out of your class, she's way too fine"
As she passed by I caught her glance
Thought, what the hell, I'll take a chance
Baby, you know I got the tools
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES

Verse 2

Maybe I'll win or crash and burn
Woman like that, I'll never learn
She's got the rhythm and the moves
There's just no way that I can lose
Dancing like this should be a crime
Holding her body next to mine
Baby, you know I got the tools
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES

Bridge

This could be heaven, maybe hell
My head is spinnin', I can't tell
They say that love, it just ain't fair
Another drink and I won't care
Is she for real or just a dream
Reality ain't what it seems
One thing's for sure, I never lose
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES
(Inst, Verse Changes)

Bridge 2

This could be heaven, maybe hell
My head is spinnin', I can't tell
They say that love, it just ain't fair
Another drink and I just won't care
Is she for real or just a dream
Reality ain't what it seems
One thing's for sure... I never lose
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES

Verse 3

Bet you're all wonderin' how this ends
Will we be lovers or just friends
Women like that they're worth your time
Just play their game and walk the line
And let the music fuel your dreams
'Bout rock and blues and all it means
Then if you've really paid your dues
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES

Outro

Cause she don't hang around with fools
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES
My baby knows I got the tools
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES....yeah
Baby knows I never lose
ROCK&BLUES...THE RULES
Spoken:
"Who rocks you, baby!!!...."
