I'LL NEVER MAKE IT HOME TONIGHT
(L.E. White)

Conway Twitty - 1972



 
Today I started home with just a mile to go
And everything was goin' all right
And then I heard 'sock it to me' on the radio
And I'll never make it home tonight

Well, I made it down to the old crossroads
Where the wrong road leads to the right
Then I thought of Minnie in her mini skirt
And I'll never make it home tonight

Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a-lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight

Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a-lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight

(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)

Down in a glad place for the sad
I'm loose, but I'm a-gonna get tight
I'm a-lookin' for good place to go bad
And I'll never make it home tonight

Well, I got kinda high and I lived a little low
Started home about daylight
When I got to the road where I should've went left
Again I turned to the right

Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a-lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight

Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a-lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight

(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
yeah, it don't look like I'm gonna make it home tonight
(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
I hear yah! 
(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
Mercy!
(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
Woooah!
