Some men look for dia monds,

some men look for gold,

I'm just try in' to find my self be fore I get too old.

Dif ferent peo ple have their ways of mea sur ing suc cess.

May be it's not the right way,

but wrong's what I do best.

Oh well I've walked the straight and nar row,

straight to where I don't be long.

One time I e ven tried to love one wo man,

but that did n't last too long.

If my ship is dock ing in the East,

you can bet I'll be head ed West.

Rid in' the wrong di rec tion,

'cause wrong's what I do best.

When I'm down and out, and kicked a bout,

I feel right at home.

When I got the blues, and it's all bad news,

that's when I'm in my com fort zone.

Well if they held a lo ser's play off,

well there'd be no con test.

'Cause I've had lots of prac tice,

and wrong's what I do best.

If my ship is dock ing in the East,

you can bet I'll be head ed West.

Rid in' the wrong di rec tion,

'cause wrong's what I do best.

Rid in' the wrong di rec tion,

'cause wrong's what I do best.
