One man's trash is another mans treasure
One mans pain is another mans 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

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 the 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
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 a make
The right mistake the right mistake
I was only trying to make
The right mistake
