Right To Be Wrong

Delbert McClinton · Other Songs - Delbert McClinton

When the words came tumbling out of my mouth

I felt it all goin' south

But I kept on talkin', 'til you started walking

Now I'm trying to dig my way out



Ain't I got a right to be wrong?

I can't believe you're so long gone

Why can't you just come on home?

Ain't I got a right, ain't I got a right to be wrong?



You know I never meant to hurt you

I'm sorry for what I put you through

As much as I regret it, you won't let me forget it

Baby, what you trying to do?



Ain't I got the right to be wrong?

I can't believe you're so long gone

Why can't you just come on home?

Ain't I got a right, ain't I got a right to be wrong?



Well, I meant what I said and I said what I meant

Never stopped to think about the consequence

I tried and I tried to apologize but you just won't leave it alone

Ain't I got a right to be wrong?
