The Right Mistake - Robbie Robertson

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure

Play too hard, play too rough

And someday someone’s gonna call your bluff

Take a stroll off the deep end

On the boulevard of broken dreams

Took a stroll off the deep end

And I was just trying to make

The right mistake, the right mistake

I was only trying to make

The right mistake

Gotta change some old habits

Tryin' to turn a new leaf

I gotta stop chasing rabbits

But I got hooked beyond belief

Let it go, they told me

But I just couldn’t hear their plea

Let it go, they warned me

And I’m just tryin' a make

The right mistake, the right mistake

I was only trying to make

The right mistake

You could be the perfect stranger

You could be from Illinois

You come around here courting danger

Making all that noise

And you know I’ll be there

Tell me when the deal goes down

And you know I’ll be there

'Cause I’m just tryin' to make

The right mistake, the right mistake

I was only trying to make

The right mistake

The right mistake

The right mistake

The right mistake
