Lyrics

[verse]
I clock in early, work till late,
Goin' hard in the yard 'til the end of the day
But when the sun goes i'm never quite alone
cuz i hang my hat in my honkey tonk home

and you walked in with your heart half broke
it ain't gonna get fixed with a drink or a smoke
you need someone who takes your cares away
makes you laugh so hard you forget why you came

[chorus]
I'm not the kind of guy
You take to meet your mom,
And I ain't the one
You should settle on.
But if you gimme a smile,
I'll bring the fun--
Not Mr. Right,
But I'm the right kind of wrong

[verse]
Had my heart all in once upon a time,
She took what she could and left me behind.
Since then, I learned how to roll with the tide,
Keep it light, keep it loose, and enjoy the ride.

[chorus]
I'm not kind of guy
that won't let you down
I'm more the kind you call
on the rebound.
but If you need a pit stoooop [stop, just drawn out]
...before ya...move on,
Not Mr. Right, but I'm the right kind of wrong

[bridge]
Ain't got a house with a white-picket fence,
But I got a bar tab and some good common sense
I'm not quite forever and not quite a mistake
But if you give me a chance,
I'll be your great escape.

[chorus]
I'm not the kind of guy
You take to meet your mom,
And I ain't the one
You should settle on.
But if you gimme a smile,
I'll bring the fun--
Not Mr. Right,
But I'm the right kind of wrong
