Right in the Wrong Direction

George Jones & Tammie Wynette



It never crossed my miind that we'd end up like this tonight

We were sitting there exchangin' glances

It started with a smile, lights were low and we talked awhile

And a drink or two and a few slow dances

Now here we are caught up in this midnight romance

It might be wrong by mormin' light but tonight we'll take our chances



We're headed right in the wrong direction

But the wrong direction's sure feelin' right

We're headed right in the wrong direction

We're not holding back, we're holding on to love tonight.



--- Instrumental ---



There stacking up the chairs, anticipation in the air

Where love leads tonight you and I will follow

With no future and no past who knows if love will last

For it's tonight that's on our mind and not tomorrow

Now here we are caught up in this midnight romance

It might be wrong by mormin' light but tonight we'll take our chances



We're headed right in the wrong direction

But the wrong direction's sure feelin' right

We're headed right in the wrong direction

We're not holding back, we're holding on to love tonight.



We're not holding back, we're holding on to love tonight...
