Lyrics
I went out looking for a friendly face Ended up in the wrong part of town Spilled my drink on a stranger's boots And my wallet's somewhere on the ground The cab never came, the rain did My phone died on the curb Then a door swung open on a little back room And a piano that I'd never heard Wrong bar, wrong night, right song Everything went sideways, then it all came along Lost my way but I found where I belong Wrong bar, wrong night, right song An old man at the keys said sit right down Nobody's a stranger after one We sang until the neon went to sleep And the rain had finished its run Wrong bar, wrong night, right song Everything went sideways, then it all came along Lost my way but I found where I belong Wrong bar, wrong night, right song Some nights go wrong so you can get it right Some doors open when you're lost I'll take a ruined evening and a borrowed tune Over a plan that never cost Wrong bar, wrong night, right song Everything went sideways, then it all came along Lost my way but I found where I belong Wrong bar, wrong night, right song Right song, right song Walking home with the dawn
