Centering blocks with right-aligned text

Hi,

I have multiple lines of variable length text, that need to be right-aligned with respect to each other, but centered relative to the rest of the content.

Something like the following:

<-------------------- Normal block width ------------------------->

            A variable length, long line of text.
                          A shorter line of text.
                                         Line #3.

I can't use any fixed widths, as I don't know how long the lines of text will be. I have tried nesting centered/right-aligned blocks, but the nested blocks expand to align the text to the far right-hand side.  I also tried auto-sized table columns, but the text either wrapped, or overflowed to the left when white-space was set to nowrap. 

Is there an easy way to achieve the desired result without having to perform calculations on the length of the text?

Thanks,
Abe
