lyrics

Driving down to New Orleans
Dreaming how things could have been
Out here singing all alone
The band broke up years ago

We got so close but no cigar
In the end it’s just as far

For another rock n roll band
In the wrong place at the right time
You give it all you got but you just can’t shake it
In the wrong place at the right time

We all were older then our age
We had a van her name was queen Jane
Hanging out with A & Rs
They promised we would go real far

They all were full of shit
And we got stuck in it

Looking back I think it’s my fault
I didn’t know what they wanted me to say
They want it all
That’s what they’ll take

We were in the wrong place at the right time
In the wrong place at the right time
Sometimes you get so close you can almost taste it
But your in the wrong place at the right time
