Met her back when we were young and broke
Troubled hearts full of fire and smoke
She had dreams, I had my mistakes
Watched her walk while I felt my heart break
Told her, “Girl, you’re too good for me,”
She said, “Boy, you’ll never set me free.”
Right place, wrong time
Crossed that line, then left it behind
We were sparks in the rain
Love and pain, never could explain
But fate’s got a funny way of comin’ ’round
After all these years, look at us now
Right place, wrong time… ’til now
She found her road, I fought my fight
Different towns, same lonely nights
I cleaned up, she settled down
But something always pulled us back somehow
Phone call came out the blue
“Is it too late?”—she whispered, “Not for you.”
Right place, wrong time
Crossed that line, then left it behind
We were sparks in the rain
Love and pain, never could explain
But fate’s got a funny way of comin’ ’round
After all these years, look at us now
Right place, wrong time… ’til now
Met her at that same dive bar
Where I first kissed her in my beat-up car
Her eyes still burned, her smile still knew
That every wrong turn just led me to you
She laughed and said, “Boy, took you long enough.”
I said, “Guess some kinds of love… just don’t give up.”
All those tears, all those prayers
All those nights thinking she wasn’t there
But sometimes love don’t move in straight lines
It circles back when it’s finally time
Right place, wrong time
Now it’s right, stars aligned
All that hurt, all that wait
Made this love worth the weight
Fate’s got a funny way of comin’ ’round
Right place, wrong time… ’til now
Then I wake up, sunlight through the blinds
Empty bed, just echoes in my mind
Guess serendipity was just a dream’s design
A glimpse of what could’ve been… in another time
Stare at her number I never did dial
Wonderin’ if fate’s been laughin’ all the while
Right place, wrong time… maybe still somehow
