Mitch Rossell - When Things Ain’t Goin’ Right lyrics

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 rightand 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' rightjust 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 rightand 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 dressthen 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' rightjust 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 adviceyeah
And take a left
