about

A high-spirited opening cut with the temperament, boogie, and swagger of a Bonnie Raitt ditty, complete with Ruby’s harmonica and a nod to the Stones at the finish.

lyrics

Wrong People
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

What can I say about feeling this way
I’m looking for something that got away
I’m looking here, I’m looking there
I’m looking all around
I think that my life got up and left this town

I know where to go, I know what to do
I know the reason why I’m feeling so blue, blue, blue
I gotta sing the kind of thing
That makes me feel alright
I gotta search inside myself and turn the shadows into light

I’ve been hangin’ ‘round all the wrong people
I’ve been seen I all the wrong places
I’ve been talking to too many wrong people
Please help me find some smiling faces

I have neglected to be the one thing that I am
I have rejected the things that I feel in my soul
I have elected to compromise all of my friends
And I expected to be one of the chosen men
I’ve been directed too long by the wrong people

I’m gonna step into some brand new shoes
I’m gonna break somebody else’s rules
I’m gonna fight with all my might
And everything I say will come out right
Right as the stars at night

I’ll leave this place, I’ll leave this town
And catch the next train to New York City
It’ll make me or break me
But one thing’s for sure
I’m never turning back to where I’ve been before

You know I’ve been talking to the wrong people
You know I’ve been seen with all the wrong people……..
