When Things Ain't Goin Right
My dog got sick, took him in, cost me $1200 bucks
Saw the keys on the seat as my locked truck door slammed shut
Bossman was texting "better get your work done"
so I had to stay late that night
And of course, I hit a traffic jam on my way
home where I always take a right... and so I
Took a left, and ended up,
at a bar down a backroad, I ain't ever been down
Parked my truck, went walkin' in, the band was rockin'
out some "Gimme Three Steps"...it was
2 for 1's on my favorite beer, had a feeling that
my bad luck was just about to turn around
Sure enough, next thing I knew, I was dancin' with a pretty brunette
Yeah the moral of the story is
when things ain't goin' right... just take a left
I got her name, stole a kiss by the end of the 5th or 6th song
She was fire I was kerosene burning wild all night long
Little did I know that her jealous ex-boyfriend stood about 6 foot 5
And when we pulled out the parking lot he followed in his
Mustang and whipped up on my right... and so I
Took a left, cut through a field, we ended
up by the lake 'neath the light of a full moon
She flashed a smile, hopped out the cab,
started slippin' right outta her dress... then she
Ran toward the bank, went jumpin' in,
she said "I'll bet you won't" so I started kickin' off my old boots
Swam to her, in record time,
I'm sure that y'all can figure out the rest
Yeah the moral of the story is
when things ain't goin' right... just take a left
Yeah the moral of the story is when things ain't goin' right
Just take my tried and true,
straight living proof good advice... yeah and take a left
Saw the keys on the seat as my locked truck door slammed shut
Bossman was texting "better get your work done"
so I had to stay late that night
And of course, I hit a traffic jam on my way
home where I always take a right... and so I
