Lyric discussion by japan3gro 

Wrong Way by Sublime is the story of a fourteen year old prostitute, who was put on the streets by her poor father. “Annie's 12 years old, in two more she'll be a whore. Nobody ever told her it's the wrong way.” She never second guessed what she was doing, until one of her customers got to know her. As he learned of her past, he wanted to take Annie away from her father. He wanted her to leave for America with him. If she didn’t want to go he wasn’t going to force her, he just wanted a better life for her. “It's up to you what you really wanna do spend some time in America.” Annie and the man left for America, but on the way Annie ran from him. Her old life was the only way she knew and she had to go back. “She took a hike it don't matter if I like it or not Because she only wants the wrong way.” He repeats “It's the wrong way” because he knows what he’s doing is wrong, yet he continues his actions.

@japan3gro WOW, I HAD NO IDEA.

@japan3gro She's not 14, she's 12. The song plainly states that. She's already being groomed.

And her "rescuer" has sex with her in the toilet: "I'm only a man, I take her to the can" and later "believe me, shit was tight." No heroes in this song.
