Lyrics
Night out went sideways in the first hour Lost our wallets, lost our ride Van got towed with the amp inside So we walked off into the dark Followed a sound down an alley wall A fiddle and a stranger's grin Door swung open on a basement bar Said come on in, come on in Take the wrong exit, find the right town Nothing went to plan and we're not turning round Sing it loud, sing it with your whole lungs We got lost, but we got found Take the wrong exit, find the right town Bartender poured a round on the house Said every good night starts out bad We climbed on the stage with our borrowed guitar Played the best set we ever had Take the wrong exit, find the right town Nothing went to plan and we're not turning round Sing it loud, sing it with your whole lungs We got lost, but we got found Take the wrong exit, find the right town Sun came up on the sidewalk, tired and loud Eight strangers singing in a crowd Funny how the map you tear up Is the one that leads you home Take the wrong exit, find the right town Nothing went to plan and we're not turning round Sing it loud, sing it with your whole lungs We got lost, but we got found Take the wrong exit, find the right town We got lost, but we got found
