It was the girl's night out, I was sitting at home.
Brother-in-law called me on the phone.
He said: "Son, let's you and me go stepping out.
"I found a place the girls know nothing about."
Well, I knew when we crossed that county line,
We were in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
A mountain of a man was taking 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 wanna go in here.
"Well, I ain't a fortune teller, but I've kinda got a vibe.
"We're in the wrong place, at the wrong time."
Wrong place, wrong time.
Lord, I must be out of my mind.
If we ever get out of this place with our lives,
What in the world we gonna tell our wives?
I was minding my business, sitting on a stool.
That brother-in-law was acting like a fool.
He had a tattooed lady out on the dance floor,
Man, doing 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 out of my mind.
If we ever get out of this place with our lives,
What in the world we gonna tell our wives?
That mountain of a man came running inside.
The tattooed lady pulled a switch blade knife.
I thought: "Lord, have mercy, we've reached the end."
When the local police came and hauled us in.
Now we were standing there in front of that night court judge.
And there were sixteen dollars 'tween the two of us.
I said: "Judge, I'd rather spend my life in jail,
"Than 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 out of my mind.
If we ever get out of this place with our lives,
What in the world we gonna tell our wives?
