It was a girl's night out and I was sittin' at home When brother-in-law called me on the phone He said, Son, let's you and me go steppin' out I found a little place this girls know nothin' about. Well, I knew when we crossed that county line We're in the wrong place at the wrong time. A mountain of a man was takin' money outside I saw a line of Harley's and some four-wheel drives I said, Brother-in-law I think we better steer clear Don't tell me that you really want to go in here I ain't a fortune teller but I kinda got a vibe We're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wrong place, wrong time Lord, I must be outta my mind If we ever get of this place with our lives What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives? I was mindin' my business, sittin' on a stool Brother-in-law was actin' like a fool He had a tattooed lady out on the dance floor And they were doin' a dance I'd never seen before Then the bartender said that's the bouncer's wife
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wrong place, wrong time Lord, I must be outta my mind If we ever get of this place with our lives What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives. That mountain of a man came runnin' inside The tattoed lady pulled a switch-blade knife I thought Lord have mercy, we've reached the end Then the local police came and hauled us in. We were standing there in front of the night court judge There was sixteen dollars between the two of us I said, Judge I'd rather spend my life in jail Then to have to call home to make my bail. He said, four hundred dollars and you're gonna pay the fine You're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wrong place, wrong time Lord I must be outta my mind If we ever get ouf this place with our lives What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives? What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives? We're in the wrong place at the wrong time...
