Robbie Robertson - The Right Mistake lyrics

One man's trash is another man's treasure One man's pain is another man's pleasure Play too hard, play too rough And someday someone's gonna call your bluff Take a stroll off the deep end On the boulevard of broken dreams Took a stroll off the deep end And I was just trying to make The right mistake, the right mistake I was only trying to make The right mistake Gotta change some old habits Tryin' to turn a new leaf I gotta stop chasing rabbits But I got hooked beyond belief Let it go, they told me But I just couldn't hear their plea Let it go, they warned me And I'm just tryin' a make The right mistake, the right mistake I was only trying to make The right mistake You could be the perfect stranger You could be from Illinois You come around here courting danger Making all that noise And you know I'll be there Tell me when the deal goes down And you know I'll be there 'Cause I'm just tryin' to make The right mistake, the right mistake I was only trying to make The right mistake The right mistake The right mistake The right mistake
