Right Place, Wrong Time Lyrics

I been in the Right Place
But it must have been the wrong time
I would have said the right thing
But must have used the wrong line
I'm on the right trip
but I must have used the wrong car
My head's in a bad place
I'm wondering what it's good for

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time
I've been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time.

Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I've been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I've been in the right vein
But it seems to be the wrong arm
I've been in the right world
But it just seems wrong (wrong x4)

Slipping, Dodging, Sneaking, Creeping
Hiding down the street
See my life shaking with everyone who I meet
Re-fried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way I go to get on out of here

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd have took a right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I've been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it's bad for

Most of the lyrics have been taken from other Artists such as Bob Dylan ect.. Mac was given them as suggestions..

Brain Salad Surgery is slang for your looking out for some, "head".

dead on. Dr. John put out an autobiography and several artists suggested different lines for this song. I think the right vein, wrong arm line must be his own as he was known to be a dope shooter for many years.
