Uncle Brent ...

Hey Paul,
The modern country feel of this is good.  Love the CH and my favorite line is “On a late-night drive, I took a wrong turn but my wrong turn turned out right.” Love the rhythmic change in the BR.

The only improvement that could make the song flow better would standardize the line phrasing in the first and second VS.
The 1st is:  (8)  (7)  (10)  (8)  (8) (8)
The 2nd is: (8) (12)  (9)  (10)  (9) (8)

Thanks, Brent

Wrong turn turned out right

Written by Paul deMarco

“Wrong turn right” Kellie Niederhelman/Paul deMarco ©2021

V1
Evening... cruising in Delaware
Honeysuckle… fills the air
No signs or signal showing on my phone
Took a left down a winding road
Saw a light from a stop and go
And then I saw a whole lot more

CH
My wrong turn turned out right
A red dirt route to a big surprise
Lit up by a flash of your big brown eyes

A heart of gold and a million-dollar smile
Is worth the time and the extra miles
On a late-night drive
I took a wrong turn but my wrong turn turned out right

V2
Great things can be stumbled upon
Like your favorite lyrics in a country song
From that day on we never parted
We reminisce bout how it got started
Not everything in life goes as planned
But it sure worked out in the end

CH

BR
OH, OH
Wrong turn turned out right
Oh oh
Wrong turn turned out right
OH, OH
We were out of sight
That night

CH
