Detour

Headed down life's crooked road

Lots of things I never knowed

But because of me not knowin' now I pine

Trouble got in the trail spent the next five years in jail

Should have read that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead

Detour, paid no mind to what it said

Detour, all these bitter things I find

Should have read that detour sign

When I got right to the place

Where it said about face

I thought that all my worries were behind

But the farther I go the more sorrow I know

Should have read that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead

Detour, paid no mind to what it said

Detour, all these bitter things I find

Should have read that detour sign

(Let's go!)

When I got stuck in the mud

All my hopes dropped with a thud

I guess that my heart strings were made of twine

No willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet

Should have read that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead

Detour, paid no mind to what it said

Detour, all these bitter things I find

Should have read that detour sign

Should have read that detour sign

Should have read that detour sign
