It was a girl's night out
I was sittin' at home
My brother-in-law called me on the phone
He said "Son, let's you and me go steppin' out
I found a place the girls know nothin' about"
Well I knew when we crossed that county line
We were in the Wrong place at the wrong time
A mountain-lovin' man was takin' money outside
I saw a line of Harleys and some four-wheel drives
I said "Brother-in-law I think we better steer clear
Don't tell me that you really wanna 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 outta this place with our lives
What in the world we gonna tell our wives?
I was mindin' my business sittin' on a stool
My brother-in-law was actin' like a fool
He had a tatooed lady out on the dance floor
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 outta this place with our lives
What in the world we gonna tell our wives?
That mountain of a man came runnin' inside
The tatooed lady pulled a switchblade knife
I thought "Lord have mercy, we've reached the end"
When the local police came and hauled us in
We were standing in front of that night court judge
Only 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 outta this place with our lives
What in the world we gonna tell our wives?
What in the wold we gonna tell our wives?
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time
