[Verse 1]
She said my name like a match,
then left me with smoke in my mouth.
Took my last good Sunday shirt,
and the ash from my little-town house.
I tried to play it cool,
like it didn't tear me in two.
But the glass in my hand shook hard
when I heard her door slam through.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, "Man up, man,"
like that fixes the ache.
They say, "You'll be fine,"
like the cut don't stay.
I smile at the store,
I nod at the bar,
but the hurt stays seated
in the back of my car.
[Chorus]
Wrong girl, wrong time
(again, again)
Need the right one
when it's me and my son
Wrong girl, wrong time
(wrong girl)
Need the right one
when it's me and my son
[Verse 2]
My boy got my eyes,
and he asks where she went.
I told him, "She's busy,"
with a lie I couldn't stand.
He leaves his trucks on the floor,
says, "Dad, don't look so low."
I kiss his head and say,
"Son, I'm tryin' to grow."
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't built of steel,
I just learned to hide.
Carry too much pride
for the tears in my eyes.
Every bad goodbye
stays under my skin,
but I keep on prayin'
for a good one to walk in.
[Chorus]
Wrong girl, wrong time
(again, again)
Need the right one
when it's me and my son
Wrong girl, wrong time
(wrong girl)
Need the right one
when it's me and my son
[Bridge]
If love comes round here,
it better be kind.
Not half of a heart
and a half-lie line.
I want porch light laughs,
I want small-town grace,
someone who sees the man
and the bruises on his face.
[Chorus]
Wrong girl, wrong time
(again, again)
Need the right one
when it's me and my son
Wrong girl, wrong time
(wrong girl)
Need the right one
when it's me and my son
