lyrics

There’s a little bar just down the street from where my wife and I call home.
My driveway is just three short blocks and one right turn.
Going home has never been too difficult for me.
But sometimes I find myself looking at things I shouldn’t see.

When I walk into the bar I’m always greeted the same way.
All my friends are there and I know everyone by name.
Lately there’s been this pretty little thing sitting in the back.
But I’m being careful keepin’ this ol’ race car on the track.

So it’s three blocks up and one right turn that keeps me goin’ strong.
‘Cause turning right has never steered me wrong.
Each night as I leave the bar for where the home fires burn.
It’s three blocks up for me and one right turn.

Last night I sat down at my usual favorite seat.
When that pretty little thing sat down right next to me.
She came all the way down to the third stool from the end.
And she asked me if I thought I might be looking for a friend.

I won’t lie because liked the attention that she paid.
Her perfume made me think of springtime in the shade.
She leaned in to whisper something in my ear.
Well my car already knows which way to steer.

So it’s three blocks up and one right turn that keeps me goin’ strong.
‘Cause turning right has never steered me wrong.
Each night I leave the bar for where the home fires burn.
So it’s three blocks up for me and one right turn.

So it’s three blocks up and one right turn that keeps me goin’ strong.
‘Cause turning right has never steered me wrong.
Each night I leave the bar for where the home fires burn.
So it’s three blocks up for me and one right turn.
Yes it’s three blocks up for me and one right turn.
