Wrong Club, Wrong Night, Right Song

Lyrics

I wore my best dress out tonight
My shoes were shining new
The first place had a line outside
The second one was through
My friend went home, my ride was gone
The rain came pouring down
I walked into a little bar
At the wrong end of town

Wrong club, wrong night
Right song, right light
The band was playing just for me
And the whole night turned around
Wrong club, wrong night
Everything came out right
I came in looking for a taxi
And I stayed to dance

The singer winked across the room
The drummer gave a grin
A stranger bought a cup of tea
And pulled a chair right in
My feet were wet, my hair a mess
I did not care at all
I danced between the tables
Underneath the paper shawl

Wrong club, wrong night
Right song, right light
The band was playing just for me
And the whole night turned around
Wrong club, wrong night
Everything came out right
I came in looking for a taxi
And I stayed to dance

Sometimes the plan falls down
And the better thing walks in
Hold your head up high
Let the evening begin

Wrong club, wrong night
Right song, right light
The band was playing just for me
And the whole night turned around
Wrong club, wrong night
Everything came out right
I came in looking for a taxi
And I stayed to dance

I stayed to dance
