Lyrics
Caught out in a hailstorm, steppin' on a nail
Go a little too fast, ticket in the mail
Right place, wrong time
Waitin' for a train but your platform isn't right
Drinkin' in a bar where some fella wants a fight
Wrong place, right time
CHORUS
Oh yeah, and my whole life it seems
Has been all about bein' where I shouldn't have been
The less I looked for trouble the more I seemed to get in it's way, a hey-hey
Drivin' down a mountain, brakes decide to fail
Someone lands on Boardwalk, I'm still stuck in jail
Right place, wrong time
Always in the right place, at the wrong time
CHORUS
But they say that every dog has it's day, and I was due for a lucky change
And the day you came along I guess I had the right to say, a hey-hey
I was in the right place, at the right time
Finally I'm in the right place, at the right time
REFRAIN
Sometimes a straight line is the hardest way to get back home
Freeways never teach you nothin' at all
But stuck out on a back road you see things you've never seen before
And that wrong place, becomes the right place
Caught out in a hailstorm, steppin' on a nail
Someone lands on Boardwalk, I'm still stuck in jail
Right place, wrong time
Always in the right place, at the wrong time
CHORUS
But they say that every dog has it's day, and I was due for a lucky change
And the day you came along I guess I had the right to say, a hey-hey
That I was in the right place, at the right time
Finally I'm in the right place, my own sweet space
Now I'm in the right place, a the right time
