Right Place Wrong Time Lyrics By Dr John

    i been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time
    i’d have said the right thing but i must have used the wrong line
    i been in the right trip but i must have used the wrong car
    my head was in a bad place and i’m wondering what it’s good for
    i been the right place but it must have been the wrong time
    my head was in a bad place but i’m having such a good time

    i been running trying to get hung up in my mind oooh
    got to give myself a good talkingto this time
    just need a little brain salad surgery oooh
    got to cure this insecurity

    i been in the wrong place but it must have been the right time
    i been in the right place but it must have been the wrong song
    i been in the right vein but it seems like the wrong arm
    i been in the right world but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

    slipping dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street oooh
    see me life shaking with every ho’ i meet
    refried confusion is making itself clear oooh
    wonder which way do i go to get on out of here

    i been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time
    i’d have said the right thing but i must have used the wrong line
    i’d have took the right road but i must have took a wrong turn
    would’ve made the right move but i made it at the wrong time
    i been on the right road but i must have used the wrong car
    my head was in a good place and i wonder what it’s bad for
