After spending a wasted youth performing in bands and as a solo artist, I'm currently only interested in songwriting and recording. OK, if you get me a little tipsy, or there's some money waved before my eyes, maybe my iron resolve will waver ... I'm only human, y'know?

Story behind the song
I wondered if the viewpoint character in this song would be too unsympathetic -- especially for female audiences. However, I guess everybody loves a rascal (at least when he repents).
Lyrics
Two Lefts Don't Make a Right By Linda Loegel and Wade Ward I told my baby I was going out To get some fresh air and to walk about Wanted to walk by the light of the moon Told her that I'd be home real soon. I closed the door I and looked around She wouldn't like to know where I was bound I turned to the left at the end of the block, Then turned left again and continued to walk. The lights were on, I ran up to the door My heart beat fast and my adrenalin soared My lover greeted me with a smile so sweet She's why I take this particular street. Out my door and I turn left twice Into the arms of a girl so nice I know that it's wrong, it's an urge I can't fight I know two lefts don't make a right. She kisses me---but I shy away She won't like to hear what I have to say I tell her two lefts don't make a right So I'm gonna have to end our affair tonight. I say I love her but I love my wife more And never again will I come to her door. She looks at me with those big sad eyes Lays her head on my shoulder, and softly she cries. Tell her I'm sorry but I really must go Back to my wife, who loves me so I know it hurts, but so does living a lie I kiss her once more and I tell her goodbye. Out my door and I turned left twice Into the arms of a girl so nice I knew it was wrong, it was an urge I couldn't fight I knew two lefts don't make a right. So now I'm going back the way I came Turn right at the corner and then turn right again Back to my wife, that’s where I belong The next two rights will correct a wrong. Out her door and I turn right twice Back into the arms of my wife tonight I'm sorry I cheated, that wasn't so bright I know two lefts never make a right. Two lefts never make a right I'm going home, and it's for good tonight I'll never go back, I've seen the light I know Two Lefts don't make a right.
